Default o2 Sensor

07 Civic Si, my o2 sensor reads low voltage and I was curious to if moving the secondary o2 sensor back further from its primary position (due to a longer flex pipe) will it cause this reading?

It shouldn't matter the secondary o2 is only used to monitor emmissions and is only looking for catalytic converter efficiency .....any voltage drop would be internal to the sensor itself nothing you can control

extending an o2 sensor with too long of a piece of wire, or splicing in a heavier gauge wire will cause voltage drop, and potentially an o2 low voltage code.
