Default Do I need O2 extenders?

I just bought a set of Flowtech headers for my '92 and now Im wondering if I need to buy oxygen sensor wiring extenders.
These are the headers:

To be honest I can't even tell if they have the bungs for the sensors, but if they do you'll most likely need the extenders because my wires didn't reach my BBK LTs, but I just spliced some extra wire in between the senor and where I cut. It was a hell of a lot cheaper than 30 bucks for extenders.

I just noticed in that pic that they dont seem to have a hole for the sensors. Maybe Ill have to get something fabricated to run the sensors since my car is still fuel injected.

I was thinking of just extending the wires but didnt know if that was a good idea.

Mine seem to work fine like that. As for the bungs, you can go to a local exhaust shop and they can weld them in for like 30 bucks. And if you want to get technical you can run the car without them, it will just not run to well.

the bungs are cheap and easy to weld in ..place them 3-5 inches max from where all the tubes meet to become one at the collector

they come with bungs, you just have to drill them out.

and you do NOT need extenders
