it doesnt look like the wire for the 02 sensor is long enough to get to the back of the cat. is it ok to add an extention to the wire to make it longer? i didnt think it was ok but just want to make sure. just in case they try to be lazy about it.

there should be an O2 sensor in the header and one in the cat. The one for the cat needs to be extended. You can buy an O2 extention certain muffler shops. You can also order one from DC Sports.

i took it back and showed them. it seems like the guy who worked on it did put a bung in the back of the cat but the threads where all messed up. so they decided to flip the cat over and put one in the front on the side of the cat. the shop tried to fix the messed up threads but couldn't so they just called me and said that they are putting a new bung in the back. no charge. thanks for all the info guys it helped a lot
