I'm going to be throwing in a Bassani OR X pipe and FRPP headers in a week or so, and I figure it's a good time to replace my O2's. The ones in there are terribly old, and I don't have any codes, but they were ungrounded for a couple years causing 41/91 codes and very rich running. I figure all that time running rich probably at the very least reduced their life/effectiveness. Also, I'm paying close to $2.40/gallon for 93 octane up here, so new O2's couldn't hurt.

Looking at my local auto parts stores, it looks like there are two Bosch units available, and one Borg Warner. The two Bosch's are the same, just one has a 8.5" harness, and the other has a 16" harness. The Bosch's are also cheaper, about $39 ea, while the Borg Warners are $50 ea. I know both Bosch and Brog Warner make good stuff...is one really any better than the other?

Thanks...

I don't think it really matters, but make sure there's anti-seize on the threads. Next time around it's gonna take a welder and a new sensor bung to replace one of mine.

Thanks for the replies. I wouldn't mind spending the money on the BW's if there is a reason too...

Ahh...didn't know that. I guess that's good enough for me!
