price of oxygen sensors...uuuggghhh

[vtv6firebird]

Those of you who have replaced your O2 sensors, which brand did you buy, and from where. I have been looking around today(AutoZone, Advance, CarQuest) for replacements for the ones in the manifolds and have seen prices range from $50 to $107 a piece.

Even at the lowest price to replace the O2's in the manifolds i am going to be set back 100 bux. Are they really this expensive? And whats the differnce in the higher prices O2 sensors?

There must be somewhere I can get them cheaper.

Also, you all that have replaced them, did you just reach up to the manifold from beneath the car? how hard was this to do?

So why the heck are the ones for the 3.8 so much more. I mean I know they are different, but what makes them so different.

The 3.8L O2 sensors are "heated" sensors.... 4 wire vs 2 wire.
