Ok so when I was replacing my inner tie rod today I figured I would drop my headers and replace that pesky upstream O2 sensor. Well heres the problem, my car has no catalytic convertor, only a resonator, and the JA that owned the car before me, basically placed the 2 O2 sensors like 6 inches away from each other, and there is no way in hell I can get the one in the hole where he I guess first had the upstream O2 sensor. My question, does anyone know of a good way to make I guess an extension so I can move the upstream O2 sensor to where the downstream one is now, and move the downstream one to another location, and what is the location you all might find suitable? Or is there a simulator I can get or what?
 
im guessing its a custom pipe. if it were me id take the half ass pipe off and get a ORP.

I really wish I had took pics, I want to punch the previous owner in the nads SOOO bad. It really makes me wish I had waited and found a comletely unmodded SVT. But no I was impatient and had to buy one that someone had already supercharged, and blah blah blah. But would the ORP solve my problem for the downstream o2 sensors location, and for me actually being able to hook up the upstream one so I can stop burning so much excess fuel?
 
the ORP has both o2s in the stock locations, many focus owners own them and love them.

Then ORP it is, I really dont have to worry about passing inspection here anymore because the shop where I do all my work has hook ups for us to get inspected. Will the ORP mess with my fuel economy? Cause right now mine is pretty bad, I'm getting 70 miles if lucky on a 1/4 tank highway driving, city, its really BAD.
