Question O2 sensor wire too short for new header!

My Mindtrain header has the mounting point for the O2 sensor just a little too far along the pipe 4" too short to be exact.

What is the best way to extend this wire? Can I get the factory connectors and make a jumper?

What have the rest of done for this

Thanks!

I cut the wire from the harness and ran a new line from the 02 sensor directly to the ECU

Watch out doing that. There is a braided shield a few inches up into the wiring harness, usually far enough up you can't really tell. It is easy to cut a connector (both parts, male and female) out of a junk yard car and make a jumper. The wire on the O2 sensor side of the connector does not have the braid, so it is of no concern.

My RB header came with a length of wire and butt connectors to extend the wire.. so the same thing would need to be done.

Looks like it's time to make a extension wire for this O2 sensor...

Thanks for the feedback guys!
