Bosch suck

edit***oem is denso so that only makes sense to buy from this guy and save $180 on an oem quality/spec sensor

Because all car parts are expensive. They have to make them and then want to make money on them. That's all I can tell you.

Not only are you paying for the name of the brand (Honda OEM is WORST for this), but your also paying for all the materials put into it and all the R&D to make it work like it does.

He's right about all that as well. I had a Bosch 02 for about a week before I got the good ol secondary 02 code back.

VX owners like me are really unlucky since we have to replace ours with a NGK wideband sensor that costs $400.

I do have a workaround for any VX owners out there. Let me know.

becuase they want you to pay alot in order to pass emissions where applicable.

The old single wire O2 sensors were pretty cheap beacuse there was little to them but today's O2 sensors are heated and tend to be a wideband style for the sophisticated OBD systems. If you want to blame anyone, blame it on emissions control legislators...they keep getting tighter and the cost of the technology keeps increasing to meet the requirements.
