gjn2495 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Trying to figure out the right brand to fit in my 08 legacy to avoid anything weird with the main computer the two brands I find are Bosch and Denso which is the OE Subaru uses.

apexi Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 I've owned my car since it was new, and the upstream oem sensor that I removed from it a couple years ago says Denso on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetiger Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 both are reputable brands that will be fine as replacements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NORULZleggy Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 (edited) Bought 2 new 02 Sensors from rockauto yesterday for my build (139 shipped with coupon), both Denso. Make sure you get the right ones for your car. there is a diff between 5mt and 5EAT ones. Also do not Sleep on NTK sensors they work great. I had to put on in on my wifes 2013 legacy a week after I bought it used. People love to say OEM Subaru only or this and that. I am that guy who buys a part no one will and it has always worked great. Have to really dig In and research.

Oh, I have it written down in the note book I keep for the car.

Notorious Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Willing to bet the only difference is the cable length. Wouldn’t imagine the connectors could be different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your right, but I do not want any problems at the tuner and shop lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 (edited) Willing to bet the only difference is the cable length. Wouldn’t imagine the connectors could be different. That's only for the rear O2 that is longer on the 5eat's, I'll assume. Which I believe the Tuner can delete ? So you don't need to replace it when it fails. I also see the Spec B's rear O2 is 234-4732 for $39.00 on Amazon The 234-4446 rear for a 5mt is $50.00 Looks like the Spec B's also fits a 5eat.

whitetiger Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 yes, the 6mt and the 5eat DP are the same length IIRC while the 5mt DP is different. that would call for sensors with different cable lengths, hence the different part #'s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 (edited) I believe both 5mt and 6mt DP are the same. I have both in the basement. The 5eat DP has a bracket in a different location. Yes, just checked the two DP look the same to me. The O2 location is the same. The picture looks different then in person, I did move the closer pipe today so the turbo flanges are equal. I believe in this picture they were not aligned, that's why the 5mt DP looks longer at the midpipe flange.
