Default how to extend o2 sensor cable

Hi I just got a dc header for my Sol and I just noticed the o2 sensor isn't located in the same spot. It's down while the stock is up high. Is there a way to extend the cable? If so how? Thanks

its fairly easy...your gonna have to cut and extend you wires with new wire and crimp them together

or you can unwrap some of your harness and rewrap it with the o2 sensor by itself, it has enough length to make it behind the motor

Just did that today. It's a nice easy way that holds up really well if done correctly. Just make sure you recconect the correct wires together.

i thought the emissions calcuations were done between O2 sensors, and the distance between the sensor is supposed to be a specific distance

but the op probably has a cat delete (idk why lol)

pollution FTL!!
