02 sensor extension for exhaust swap

i am about to do a lx-ex exhaust swap and i am told that the wires need to be extended on the o2 sensors. i know that the ground wires is shielded and was wondering if anyone has had any problems with the extension of the wires. or if they know of a place that makes a plug in extension?

had to extend the o2's they are not shielded. no problems. but i did have to remove the swaybar and i am replacing it with a ex sway bar. also thing you will need to do the swap are. the ex down pipe spring bolts and a 3 bolt 2.25" flange gasket with 1.5" bolts preferably 8mm bolt with 12mm head and nuts and washers.

its not a stock swap. i did a dc header ex, random tech cat pipe ex, and greddy evo 2 ex. the reason for doing this is keeping it smog legal. this way i still have a cat and eo carb #'s for everything.

dc sports shouldve came with a o2 extension, they charge like 45$ for it if you want to buy it seperatly... all it is is a new connector but with a male/male end, you can probably make one if you have the right connectors and the right gauge wiring (clean install)

it wasnt a big deal to extend the o2 wire. its already done and its wrapped in cold shrink tape which is what they use for ecu wiring and also wire loom. looks stock!
