Why do you need O2 extensions?

- TPIS & Kooks work fine
- LG & Dynatech you use the rears with o2 adapters

Isn't this something that can be done at home? I used to do MD inspections at a Sunoco and my friend brought his 01' Cobra up for LT and X-pipe install. We ended up cutting the O2's, soldering in additional wire, and sealing with some heat shrink wrap. Worked perfectly. If you can hold a soldering iron, you can do this. Im sure there are some pitfalls to this method but it worked well for us. Somebody else can probably chime on this.

Greg, you won't need the rear ones as they can be edited out by a local tuner.
