    Quick 02 sensor question, need help!

    What type of wire would I use to extend my 02 sensor wires, can I use same type of wire for the black, grey, white wires or are they all different? I got headers installed and the stock wiring is way too short now. I need to pass smog test and can't have my check engine light on to try test. Any help would be much appreciated!!

    the same gauge as the sendor's already existing wires.

    if they are the ebay headers, you will need to extend the about 2-2.5 feet.

        Get an old faulty sensor and use the wires from that if youre super concerned of the makeup

            And i think on 325E's they used a longer sensor, with a further back location in the pipe. check into that, i dunno if the E motor sensors will work with the I computer
