So I built the extension cables, the way pilot4fun did. (In fact I think I used his part numbers to order the connectors?!) Now I don't have to worry about suspect solder-joints creating impedance that throws-off the sensor. AND - I can simply replace the O2 sensor with a new one next time, rather than have to extend wires again.
It's worth it, in my opinion, to do the extension cables the first time.

Agreed. At first I couldn't wrap my head around it based on the picture he sent and then it just clicked. One of THOSE days I guess.
I like this idea much better as the sensors don't get butchered and can be swapped out easily.
