alright i am going to put mac long tubes on my 99.
i was wondering if i just needed the 02 sensor extension wires?

[spursguy123]

Yes I believe so.

[l_shizzle_l]

Yes you need them for the front O2's to reach.

[99stang]

what he said. and have fun getting the macs on there without leaking or not having clearance probs...

You will need them, but you can add the length your self if need to to save that cash on buying a set. Just do the wires one by one and insulate the crap out of them. Cut the wire, add your needed length, splice and solder them, tape them, add wire loom, and tape again.

+1. I did that for my back ones. On '05+, the front sensors reached fine, but the back ones I had to splice. Much cheaper than paying mucho $$$ for extenders.

I'd strongly recommend soldering any spliced wires; you'll never have problems with them that way. If you use crimped-on connections only, you could develop intermittent problems if a connection works loose.

yeah i planned on just putting the LT's in myself and making the extenders and Mills. hopefully it will all work the first time
does anyone know the easiest way to put the Lt's in?

On a V-6 not too bad, but still a PITA. Raise the engine or drop the k-member to help.

[99stang]

dang that sucks!! soo i guess this wont be a one day kinda thing at the house on jacks

[96greengt]

If you don't have any experience or never have done one before, I'd make it a weekend project using a small supply of tools, jack stands, and a friend or 2.

[99stang]

well i have experince with working on cars since i built my old bronco from the ground up but havent done much on my mustang other than a tranny swap. And i will have at least 2-3 people there to help me; with all the tools i need. So yeah i guess it will be a nice weekend project

[96greengt]

V-6 is much easier then the V-8, but a k-member gives you tons of room for long tubes.

[99stang]

ok thanks i will make sure to go ahead and take it off.

[96greengt]

Do a google on it, there are tons of write ups and how too's as well, but more for a V-8 since it is more common.

[l_shizzle_l]

You do not have to raise the engine at all. Get the car as far up in the air as possible and slide the longtubes in from underneath. You will probally need another healper for this. Don't forget the new exhaust manifold gasket, exhaust leaks =

I dunno, I saw Greg's (mustangmelish) and on the driver side there is less then a 1/4" of clearance between the primary and k-member. Looked awfully tight to me on his set up. But then again, I do not own a V-6..

[mustangmelish]

hmm well dont ask me :P i just let lethal do the work.
