Default o2 sensors and performance

I just got my o2 sensors extended and plugged in , no more CEL
but now the performance is a little sluggish (once in awhile) ;
For example when I'm just cruising (in any gear) then i try giving it some more gas without downshifting.. there's a lag and the car doesn't accelerate for a second or two.. could it be that my primary and secondaries are switched? but i have no CEL... or is it normal to perform like this?

does anyone have any ideas to what this is?

I presume you reset your ECU?

If nothing else, try resetting it again just to make sure.

if you extend the wires, more resistance will be formed, thus voltages will be dropped so the o2 reading won't be accurate.... try to keep the wires' lengths as close to stock as possible

except if he actually switched their locations. this couldn't happen with stock wiring, but since his is extended, the primary might reach the secondary's hole.
