Default O2 Extensions too short

Just installed Speed engineering headesr and mid pipe on 2013 Base coupe. The O2 extensions provided are 24 inch (which appears to be the longest available) but they BARELY reach and only because I left the motor mounted end loose and stretched to the max. I am confident they will melt in a big hurry.
Anyone know of where to purchase longer extensions? I will be putting heat protection on them but they are still too short in my opinion.
Thanks in advance, Bock

Did you delete your rear sensor with your tune ?
If yes you can uninstall them IMO

Or do what I did : extend the wires

Bought my 31 inch 02 extensions on Amazon for my speed engineering headers.

i have heard some guys in our club say you can untape some slack from the ends under the fuel rails but I opted for the 31 inch.....

Here's another idea. The harness that the original o2 wires come out of can have the tape cut off, and you can peel back a ton of extra o2 sensor wiring and move it towards the rear of the valve cover, tape it back up and your golden. Beats waiting for longer extensions....
