Default Help please!

I have a 1996 Honda Accord LX, I got some OBX RACING headers installed and
now my 02sensor does not reach. I heard there is an O2 sensor extension.
Where can I find an O2 Sensor extension? I tried all performance shops and
pep boys and napa and places like that. The only luck I found is the make
the extention for Ford and gm. But i can not find one for honda. One
performance shop told me DC Sports carrys them is this true?

Just make the extension yourself. It's SUPER basic. Go to radio shack and get some similiar guage wire and crimp on connectors or solder them together. They even sell the soldering guns.

yup, my radiator support got shifted back a little in a fender bender and the fans sliced up the wiring on the o2 sensor, it's no different than working with speaker wire or something.

i have the same car and headers though, so i find it odd that your's doesnt reach. i didnt have any problems, perhaps there's a clip somewhere along the wiring that you can remove to get a little more slack? i dont recall having to do anything like that, but i may have.

if you do end up extending it though, make sure to use something to shield the wiring from heat.
