Ok, I will probably still splice myself. So you guys think with LT's and O2's in the collector 12" will be enough?

Should be fine.
Mine were about 12 inches and they reside in the pipe AFTER the collector.

 

Those wires dont really solder well. I knew they wouldnt take the solder for me when I tried, and then I read some reason why later. I ended up crimping mine and have had no noticable issues at all.

 

Maybe I'll just do the old fashioned way...twist them together and put some electrical tape over the bare wires and call it done!!!

 

I fail to understand why anyone would do any splicing when you can get these

cheap enough. Let alone a "twist" and tape

Second, our O2s get their oxygen supply through the back at the wire openings. NEVER make splices between the O2 and it's connector.

 

Extensions at the site above are 21.95 each. With the 8.95 "handling" charge it comes to a grand total of $52.85. That's absolutely ridiculous for $2.75 worth of wire and $4.25 worth of plastic. If they are gonna charge that, they could at least include some vaseline.

i agree on that, just spliced mine for my pacesetters last night. although i made 2 mistakes, #1 not checking the values before and after the extension, although i didnt have much of a choice due to a new engine going in, and #2 not realizing that 2 wires are the same color till after i cut . anyways im pretty sure i got it right, although i do think one of my o2 sensors is bad because its values are barely fluctuating on the scanner.

o and i measured with a tape then made my own, had the o2s in the collectors, came out to about 18" on shorts side, and 24" on driverside. i measured long though so i didnt have to make new ones if they were too short.

 

I wanted to try it and see if it would work.
Everyone said don,t splice the O2 wires themselves it will ruin them. I just had to see for myself. I did spend some time on them and did it all right, and they have worked fine. Readings are fine and the car ran 4 tenths faster and 3 MPH more after the header install so I,m gonna go out on a limb and say they are working fine.

 

Ok, well after all my whining I got a line on a cheap set of O2 extensions. They are $35 shipped for a pair of 12". So, I think I'm gonna go ahead and get them. But, does anything thing 12" won't be long enough?

Everyone think 12" is enough?

I dont know.... save that question for her. LOL
