o2 sensor extensions
I bought a pair of ARH used so I don't have the O2 extensions. What would be a good brand to buy? 24" would be a good length?

FYI,
The plugs for the O2 sensors are different for the front and rear sensors.
it is easy ro order the wrong extensions.

They are just wires with OEM style plugs.
there is no good/better/best.
buy whatever you can and slap them in

Why not just tune them out? All they do is report on the condition of the catalytic converter.

The rear sensors will be tuned out, not the front.

Maybe not everyone wants to pay $500-1500 just to shut off their rear sensors?

Neither would I. I had my car tuned for the headers and Airaid intake plus had the rear sensors turned off and eliminated the "skip shift" thing for $400.

You didn’t need a tune, so you paid $400 to turn off your sensors basically.
Which is ok, but that was my point with my comment.

You don't need a tune after header installation? No, assuming you don't want the max benefit of the headers.

there is no max benefit of the headers. The hp is the same gain if you tune the car stock or with headers.
too many wive’s tails being spread on tuning

I was not joking about anything. But glad you found it entertaining.
