you know you can usually check to see if they have what you need in stock on there website. you just have to try tracking the stuff down.
Ya they could order it but I didnt drive down, I had to get my friend to take me down since theyre about 20 mins away in the next town over from me.

Ended up getting the sensor from Napa. Anyways 23506 is the correct sensor, however this brings me to another problem... wires aren't long enough. I don't know what to do now?

edit: found this here , would this work so I dont gotta cut the wires?

The wire isn't long enough because it's the wrong sensor. The sensor itself is right, but there is like 3 different lengths for the wire/plug.

I have an after market catalytic converter, the cat is about 3-4" forward from where the stock was before. Its a direct fit cat so I removed the factory y-pipe. I donno if that makes a difference at all.

How short is it and how long is the wire on the 23506 you currently have?

tell you the truth. i would have probably hit the junkyard and cut the wires off a o2 sensor with the right connector and splice it to the other o2 sensor you have.

All I have to say is , that a 23506 has a 14" wire. If you are 4"'s too short, get a standard motor products o2. You can get one with an 18" wire. Just have to bring it in to a parts store that sells Standard and match it up. Same goes for an NTK.
