Default universal o2 sensors ok???

are universal senors ok to get for a civic ex asl long as they are the right amount of wires etc??? it would be great to get universal ones becasue it would save me around 200$ for both sensors! i need some because i was running rich for a few days and now i got to get a new CAT(catco high flow CAT) and two new o2 senors cause the running rich damaged them!

Depends on the brand.

Yeah, the only reason they charge you that 169.99 is becuase it already has the little white connector on it...it's very easy to do. It comes with a chart and shows what wires to cut took me 3 minutes tops. Get the universal should be around 60 bucks or so.

Yes, a heated o2 will have 4 wires even if it's universal. Reguardless of it being universal a non heated o2 will have 1 wire.
