Default Home made O2 extendors???

Can I:
1: Splice the existing O2s and extend them?
2: Build extendors if I find the right connectors?

My dads friends is an electrical engineer and with the access to the right wires etc. would this work? Are there any resistance issues that the computer will pick up?

Yours is an 03 you dont need extensions unless its an 04. or you have longtubes.
but to answer your question, i wouldnt do it, it would be cheaper and have less chance of failure just to buy the extensions
