Default How long 02 sensor extensions for Long Tube Headers ?

I will be soon installing 1 3/4 American Racing Headers on my 04 z06 and need to know how long 02 extensors suppose to get to make a good match with front sensors' locations. I've seen on the market different length: 12, 18, 36 inches .
Anybody with this knowledge please ? Where to get the best ?

For the fronts you can probably unclip the connector from the frame and get enough length, that's what I did on my Header install and the bungs were close to where the ARHs are I believe.

I wouldn't think you'd need a whole lot of length so 12" should do it if you want some insurance.

Wielki, Our C5 header systems do not require extensions. The factory harness will reach with room to spare. Thanks for choosing A.R. Headers.

Nick ... , thanks a lot for a professional advise. I know you guys did a lot of them and still installing them on c5. You made my day with that info. Hopefuly I will not get stuck with a too short 02's while car hanged up in the air
What's more, I will be your customer soon for a tune and few other thigs , if you of course find a couple hours for me.
Thanks again for your info.

I installed AR headers for a member here and they dont need long O2 harness, factory O2 harness fit perfect.
