Performance Engineered in the USA: Proven Gains for Street and Track Builds
The Kooks EX685-Z O2 sensor extension harness solves the common wiring reach issue when installing long-tube headers on 2014 and 2019 Corvette C7 models (Stingray, Grand Sport, Z06), providing a plug-and-play solution that repositions both front and rear oxygen sensors for accurate air-fuel monitoring and ECU calibration without triggering check engine lights or lean/rich codes.
Built from high-temperature shielded wiring with OEM-style weatherproof connectors rated over 1,200°F, this harness maintains perfect signal integrity under extreme exhaust heat and vibration from high-RPM or track use. The kit includes both driver and passenger side extensions with correct length for Kooks header installations and no cutting or excess slack that could cause chafing.
For C7 Corvette owners upgrading to aftermarket headers, the EX685-Z harness is the essential wiring solution for seamless installation and flawless engine management.

Will these headers void my factory powertrain warranty?
Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a manufacturer cannot void your vehicle warranty simply because you installed an aftermarket part unless they prove the component directly caused the failure. Consult your dealer for specifics on your situation. -
