I know you can get extension harness for $24 each but easier to buy the universal ones and use good butt splice connectors splice them to the orignal o2 wires off the old sensor

I couldn't find one either... What I did was make a custom extension for my 02 sensor (on the engine side for bank 1 sensor 1 (under the firewall). I bought some high temp wire and took a bad sensor and disassembled the plug. I soldered the wires onto the pins from the bad plug, and put all back together. Made everything plug-n-play, and since i did that Ive put about 2k miles onto the car with no CEL's. Before (when i had the O2 wire extended) i couldn't go past 40 miles without the light.

Are you needing this for a header install?

but instead of doing the extension i just wanna buy a longer bank 1 sensor 1 o2 sensor... the reason im a lil skeptical on the extention is because the connector piece doesnt look similar to the way the connector is on the o2 sensor

hey, whatever you want... I just made myself an extension, leaving the O2 sensor alone. Its all plug and play, just like the link above, but I made it myself instead of buying it.

understandable, I would have bought the extension if I had found it before I made my own.

So extension(part number 109247) is a fit to the current 02 connector?
