I cut after just on the O2 plug side so i can get new ones. Mr. Lous thanks for the input that explains my problem, i think im just going to go ahead and get a frost tune and get them tuned out instead of buying extensions.

You can not tune out the front O2s - they are required to make sure the car runs with the proper air/fuel ratio. You can only tune out the rear O2s. You will need to replace the front ones.Quote:

They go for about $75-$85. The wire extensions go for about $30-$40.
I agree with why, but there are some people that have problems with those O2's. Inactivity/not properly switching codes.Quote:

Could be. I have seen it happen with a 2002 Z28. Heard about it with other years, but never seen it personally.
seems like ive heard you can get corvette O2's that are long enough and work is this true?
The 13111's are a Corvette sensor. My question is, they're listed as a REAR O2 sensor for the Corvette, ya'll are saying they'll work fine as a replacement for the front O2's on our cars? Doing the header install in the near future and definitely want to just swap the sensors out and avoid any problems I may have.Quote:

Awesome info guys I appreciate it. Always like to find these things out BEFORE undertaking a project so as to avoid any problems as I am an old wrench turner but a complete newb when it comes to messing with the LS1.
