o2 sensor wire not long enough after dt headers

[rootbass]

Guys

My mechanic put my headers on last week and said that the wire for the o2 sensor was not long enough when used with the dt headers. I searched but there are so many long dt threads. is there a pig tail extension or something I can use?

On top of all of it......they are ticking louder than my old manifolds. Hopefully it did not blow Gasket immediately.

Thanks
Rick

You can actually just re-rout the cable after un-cliping it upstream and then it is long enough... the threads are long but it's in there somewhere. Hopefully just letting your mechanic know it can be done will be enough.

You should NOT have more noise than before. Sounds like a header to head leak.

I'm starting not to like your mechanic so much...

That is a link to post #673 that kind of sums up all of the pitfalls of installation. He mentions the wires in there.

Unclip the 02 sensor from it's wire tie down and use a zip tie in the new position. Oh and tell your mechanic to get a clue - it's 100% obvious what to do.

Crap....I just noticed the typo on the 92 sensor! How damn funny. Thanks for the heads up guys.
