ZZP fitment problem

I just am in the process of installing the ZZP mid-length header and downpipe with highflow cat. and I have noticed that the O2 censor that pulgs up to the downpipe does not reach. Should I cut it and splice a wire? Or can I order a longer O2 censor wire from somewhere?

I got zzp header 2.5 bolt-on with ceramic coating and the 2.5 bolt-on downpipe with magnaflow cat.
It all bolted up to my corsa cat with no problems and the O2 censor pluged into the header, but the bakk O2 censor does not reach the downpipe.
what should I do?

Hmmm... thats the EXACT setup I ordered, even have the corsa catback lol... Did you get a upper gasket with it? I only got a lower gasket and one for the catback.

I just ordered the downpipe. I hope the sensor reaches. How short does it look it is? Isnt the o2 sensor in pretty much the same location as the stock downpipe?

Well I got around to installation today, sensor doesn't reach... Guess I now am looking into a solution for this. I have it plugged right now and am getting tired of the CEL

I took my o2 sensor to a local tuner shop and they add like 11 inches to it.
my CEL has not turned on yet.
I do have a leek between the header and downpipe. That piece of **** paper gasket blew. now ZZP is sending me a metal one.
but until then my car sounds like a rice burner.

So you decided to remove one of the two O2 sensors that hook to the ECU? And replace it with a WBO2..

Did you send a signal to where the Second O2 was hooked up? (Or is it Disconnected)
