I think everyone will say to just shell out the money for the OE sensor. It's $150 on hondaautomotiveparts.com. Don't buy it through the dealer, that's an extra $55 that you don't need to spend.

I have a $60 bosch sensor. Had it for almost a year now, no problems with itl. I guess it's not as accurate as the OEM one, but I cannot tell. The car drives fine. I will be getting a Honda one for myself pretty soon. I guess the bosch or wagner one is ok for a temporary fix, but I would just pay up and get the Honda one.

Yeah, I had to splice the wires. It's really easy, comes with really good instructions. Took about 30 min to install everything, the hardest part would be taking off your original o2 sensor. Make sure you torque up the new sensor properly. I didn't and it was causing rattle.
