I was installing a new header and the stupid O2 sensor decided to shred all of its threads on the way out. I didn't realize how expensive these things can be until now either. This sucks, so can anyone tell me where I could find a working O2 sensor please? Thanks.

Aren't those going to cost around $200-$300?

I'm pretty sure you can get one for around $100. I replaced both in my clips for $200. Definately don't go to a honda dealership. Then they will cost that much... Maybe... I dunno. Call around. Get the best price.

I'll keep looking, but is there a difference between the O2 sensor on the 92-93 model vs. the 94-96 model? The 92-93 was $90 and the 94-96 was $130 and were both Denso. I have a 1995 Si. Also, since the thread is just stripped and the actual sensor is fine, is there any way to make use of it, sell it, or fix the thread or something. Thanks for the help so far.

Well, I'm assuming there is a difference considering the price fluctuation. A brand name is just a brand name. As far as I know, after a thread has been stripped, whatever it is ruined. You could probably sell it to some unsuspecting person, but they probably wouldn't want to pay that much for a strii\pped O2 sensor.
