Default Any ever used a Universal O 2 Sensor?

Just check out a universal o2 sensor at autozone for 60bucks. Not quite sure how to wire it though, it has a diagram but you need to know what "type" (a,b,c,d, or bosch) o2 sensor i have now.
The other o2 sensor that plugs in cost 180 dollars. So just trying to save 120 dollars here.
If anyone can help, thx alot.

I've used them... I'm an employee of the zone for 5 years.... lol

they work fine. However if you compare the bosch tips to the stock denso tip you'll notice they are a lot different. Denso's read better and faster. But the Bosch will still work just fine

How do they work? Like do you cut the wires from your stock connector and rewire the o2 sensor? I'm curious, I need a new o2 sensor.

you can cut the harness off the old sensor and wire that up to the universal then clip the new one on

But does anyone know what type i have now? So i can use the diagram to rewire it. Otherwise its just a bunch of guessing thatll prolly mess something up.
