O2 sensors are pretty much standard across the board. Our list vendors
sell the short version - ie you have to cut and splice - or the long
version, ie has the complete long wires where you just plug and play.
Most go for the short version - cut and splice - when is in the neighbor
hood of $40. No difference in performance between it and the more
expensive version. The sensor itself is identical, it is the wiring
hookup that makes the difference in price. Rediculous to pay that high
price for one.
