The driver's side reached on mine but it was close. The passenger side needed less than a foot extension. This was on a 95 single cat car.

I used extensions on both sides just to be safe, though like eddie said you can do it with only one.

My 95 TA is a single cat car. I didn't need a full foot of extension, it was just the smallest size I could find. I didn't want to make my own. I was about 2 inches short on the drivers side and maybe 5-6 inches short on the passenger side. The extra length was useful on the passenger side to keep the wires off the pipes.

I needed about 2 inches of extension with my AS&M's. Just a tip, don't try to splice them. It worked fine for about a month, now I get a constant SES light for them. I would of bought extensions in the first place but I had no time to get them whenever I found out that they were needed.

I did not need any extensions on my 94, so you may get lucky.

I didn't need any on my 95, originally a single cat car. I managed an extra inch out of the drivers side be slightly re-routing the wires where they came down.

You still need your precat o2 sensors(the ones in the headers) and for longtubes you need a one foot extension for each side.
