The extension is for like 98-99 Cali-Spec

Maxes which have a extra O2 sensor so the extension makes it possible to have a aftermarket B-Pipe on them.Some one correct me if I gave any false info?

I believe you have to buy the extension for a 95/96 because the pipe was

designed for the later 4th gens which come with the extension, stock. The extension they sell you is the OEM piece.

Re: I believe you have to buy the extension for a 95/96 because the pipe was

The info posted by EMAX is not correct.

And I've seen it several times so I feel the need to set the record straight. The extension piece is required only on cars which DO NOT have the O2 sensor behind the cat. This includes 99 CA-spec cars....

Full explanation is on my web site.
