I just bought a Porsche OEM O2 sensor for $160 and I could have gotten a generic 4 wire Bosch thimble type (in about 75% of cars on the road) from Napa for +\- $65 and soldered the wires to the old connector but I was on my way to a DE and did not have my soldering iron so I opted to spend the extra for convenience.

Once I was at the DE the wire was too short for the OEM (I have headers) so I ended up cutting the pigtail off the old one and twisting the wires together with the new sensor. Needless to say I could have saved the $90 odd bucks and gotten the generic part and it would have worked perfectly since I ended up having to cut the wires anyway.
