Default Buying used headers without O2 extensions or gaskets

I found a set of LG headers and X pipe for my 05 C6 but the guy lost the extensions. What size extensions would i need? also is there anything else i may need with the install he only has the headers and x pipe nothing else. I plan on buying a new Ls1 exhaust gasket as LG says those work the best with their headers. Please include where i may find the parts. Thank you all.

Search LS2 oxygen sensor extension on Ebay, any length should work.

Default Just did this

I just did this on my 07. Got a set of ARH and X-pipe from a forum member, same thing no extensions. He suggested amazon, i ended up going with Summit (have used them for years). Summit part # for the fronts are CEI-109229, MAKE SURE YOU GET 2 they are sold individually. The rears are part # WSGTOO2EXT they are sold in pairs (i know there different brands but i didn't see both from either brand still got the job done). A suggestion....... contact Fred at Specialty Automotive Materials and get his Z-COOL tunnel insulation kit its a good time to do it if you haven't yet and while you have the exhaust off.

Thank you all for the suggestions! I'll look into that Z-Cool i was planning on doing a tunnel plate kit when doing the install. Still debating whether or not to do it myself as i've been getting expensive quotes.

Not a hard job, just a time-consuming one.

Any lenght will work if you're ok with tying it up in a bundle and attaching the extra somewhere. Measuring what you need or asking the vendor would be the way to go. I was given a set of used ones and never liked the idea that they were longer than necessary. I'd suggest the OP do a little research and end up with a tidy job. Those are not wires you want hanging down scraping the road later on.
