I purchased the jba long tubes and it came with 2 o2 sensor extensions. Do I need to purchase 2 more extensions? Thanks

More than likely you’re gonna throw a code if not let me know or how you fixed the problem
I built my own Y pipe (no cats) but put bungs same distance away as stock

They delete the O2 in the custom tune. So I just used what was in the kit as it just for show...lol...

No the extensions are for your after cat downstream O2 sensor locations. The upstream O2 sensor should install into the collector without issue.

Does it matter where each o2 sensor is used or do all 4 function the same no matter where they are put?

Keep track of where they go,you'll also want the back ones plugged in,you can tie them up to the tranny so they're out of the way,but odds are even if you delete them in your tune,it'll still throw a code if they aren't physically plugged in.They don't need to be in the pipes,just plugged in

Too late for that, all I know is 2 sensors have white plugs and 2 with black plugs. I did load the custom tune Hemifever sent, but not sure what all is deleted in the tune.

After researching some more I installed all 4 o2 sensors and only plugged in the 2 upstream sensors. I believe the downstream sensors were removed anyway with my new tune.

If o2 is deleted than there should be no need to plug in. You should not get codes either. Downstream sensor is the one that causes limp if unplugged and un deleted. The one down stream or after cat reads 02 on 4 sensor system 2 sensor system they read heat 02 and time. Cat or no cat wont code for smog just reading issue voltage temp or open circuit.

I just screwed the 2 downstream sensor in the y-pipe holes and left unplugged since I didnt have extensions anyway.
