Default DC header install- - -o2 Sensor not long enough?

I'm going to install my DC header (d series) in my crx and it seems that the o2 sensor and wire isn't long enough for the hole in the header? Anyone have this problem? The o2 sensor hole on the dc header is close to the cat at the end of the pipe.

I made a topic about this last week, I also had to extend it. I sodered mine then taped it. Works fine.

Thanks boys...yeah, I just confirmed with someone is it is for an EG sohc. Oh well, I'll just have to extend it.

BTW: How would I install it physically? Drop the stock one from the bottom and install the dc from bottom to top?

Yeah, drop the old one out, and put the new one in from the bottom.

Is your header used? When I bought mine it came with a plug to extend my 02 sensor. Made things very simple

i agree with camohatch...my GFs winter beater has a DC header and it has a wire harness to extend the o2 plug.
