I have a OBX header that I was going to install today but found out that I actually need a longer O2 sensor cable because it is a lot further away than the stock one was at. Anybody know where to buy one of these cables?

Lol..errrrr.. I was in the same boat as you about a month ago...I got a OBX Stainless Steal Header for 175 shipped...Im going to tell you know that you should plan to spend the whole day installing it if you do it yourself..the time is also based on your experience level...me being the first time replacing it..with no help it took awhile.. Get some pb blaster and coat ALL bolts to make it easier to get the old header off..OH..if u got the same gasket I got for where the two pieces of the header bolt to I wouldnt install it just yet .The gasket they sent was like two thin pieces of metal with some rubber gunk in the middle and if ur off a little with the alignment the gasket will split and there will be a loud exhaust leak I got a new one made out of copper from f22parts.com.. but I must warn you they are SLOW! ..But to get back to your question. I bought my O2 sensor from autozone..they dont sell extensions just a univesal O2 that you can cut to your desired length and the splice it to the original O2..it was 80bucks and it was made by Bosch..I think DC sends an extension with there kit..and on the OBX your O2 sensor wires will be sooo close to the radiator fan that u will have to zip tie it away from it..and dont forget to tape them from the heat... email if you have any other questions..

Yeah I spoke to a wholesale person of DC Sports about their extension and they said someone will contact me, its only like $20 and I really dont want to be making and splicing the wires so it isnt much money.

The installation part is getting done by me and my mechanic, he owns a garage and all the tools so it takes him like 20 minutes to install a header.
