    In my opinion you would have better luck looking into ether the DC or Pacesetter header for your Accord. The quality and craftsmanship is better than the cheap ebay stuff and it is not slip fit so it won't leak like most of the aforementioned $1000 units do.

I'm just scared cause where it cut is right at the point when it enters the sensor. But I was able to kinda of tie it back a little with a wire but now I'm a try to get a zip tie to be sure.
      I'm a stop by an advance auto parts later to compare denso with bosch to check out the lengths.
      Thanks for the help
      Your very welcome! Im glad I could help you out!

      Good advice here as can always be expected from Ghost. DC < Pacesetter IMO. And I’ve had both. That’s if you want to/can do it.

      Just make sure you don’t let the fan chop on the new Denso sensor.

      And Denso is more practical than NTK/NGK. I have been very pleased with NGK over the years and anytime I have the chance to buy a product of theirs for a repair or maintenance I do it just to give them my business.

        I will check into dc and pacesetter so then then when this one starts leaking I will just buy a good quality header if I still have my coupe !
        I checked both sensors out (at advance auto) and there the same length but Bosch has like a plastic type of flexible protecting thingy at the point where the wires go inside the sensor and denso was just exposed lol, should I just buy the denso and zip tie it to hell?

          You shouldn't have to zip tie anything to hell. If you need to use a zip tie with the Denso unit, one should be more than enough.

            What's the difference of a female and male connector?

              If it was my car, megan racing and have all the flanges surfaced. I straightened all of mine and never had any leaks. People claim it is a shitty gasket but the flanges are just warped from them welding it without bolting it down to a flat surface.
              I <3 G60.

              0.5mm Oversized Stainless valves and bronze guides available. Pm me please.

                I thought this ^ when I was trying to get my header to stop leaking. It looked a little bit untrue, not straight or whatever you want to call it.

                The denso O2 sensor I have is this one. Denso 2344621 $27 shipped from Rock auto. I had a f22a1 with the sensor that mountd in the front. I now have it running in the downpipe on my h22. I just split the loom and mad some more length on the harness and routed it to the back.

                  Yea the shop that installed my new header made sure the surface was flat and just bolted it and used some type of sealant. So far so good.

                  I also installed a denso o2 sensor and zip tied it. There's little space in between the wire and the fan blade but its good

                    The female is for the F22A1 with the O2 sensor in the manifold. DX, LX



                    The male is for the F22A4 & F22A6 with the O2 sensor in the down pipe. EX, SE

                          I've been looking at the pacesetters from summit... They've got a 1 year warranty and only $231 without taxes n all that good stuff. The shiny ones are like $100 more... Funny thing the first cb I owned was a lx and the o2 sensor was in the down pipe and the ex-r I drive now is also in the down pipe, both 91's
                          4000watts just so all the haters hear me comin!
