Oxygen Sensor

Does anyone know where I can get an oxygen sensor wire extender? Or if one is even made for the car? I have an 03 TL-S, and the extension would be for the O2 sensor sitting on the Catalytic Convertor itself. Thanks in advance!

whats up? are you installing a high flow cat and need to put in the `spark plug anti fouler` thing? or some secret mod?

excelerate would be my first call too- Josh is the cat man!
and probably not that far from you, he has a performance shop,,plus the speed parts biz

you will want to extend/protect the end of the o2 with the anti fouler device
I dont know about your exact product- speaking in general about hi flow cats and too much flow screws with readings

Agree with ^^^

step 0) buy harness from excelerate for $29
step 1) buy anti foulers at autozone (comes in pairs)
step 2) drill one anti fouler (1/2in)
step 3) connect anti foulers together
step 4) install o2 sensor in anti fouler onto cat.

i will have to try this anti fouler thing, because it is throwing a p0420 code, and the yellow light in my face gets pretty annoying lol. is there a diy anywhere? sorry, didnt have time to search.

I believe fsttyms1 used 2, cause 1 isn't long enough.
Either way, they come in pairs.

edit: here's a diy.

What exactly does this do to make the CEL turn off? Er, how does it help the O2 sensor work? I've had the p0420 for a while and already replaced the cat 2 years ago. Was going to look into replacing the O2 sensor if my EGR cleaning doesn't resolve the code, but this sounds a lot cheaper. Or is this fix only for getting a CEL when installing a new high-flow cat?

Amazon has OS sensors with longer leads.....you just have to read the product description carefully to find them. Look for the same sensor that has a higher price for no apparent reason and check the product verbiage.
