some say the interchangeable.... but why would Honda charge so much more for the secondary?

I don't think there is really any definite way to tell unless you get an unopened package from honda with the secondary o2 part number on it....

EDIT: I was not right...damn that 10%. I guess that's what happen when you don't run an OEM primary 02 sensor and just run off of a wideband's narrowband output.

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by Ricey McRicerton &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">One has a male plug, the other has a female. I'm about 90% sure on this one.</TD></TR></TABLE>

They are both the same and are interchangeable! In some applications, there will be a blue grommet.

As you can see, mine share the same physical connector....the heat shields and wiring lengths are different.
