As long as the connector is pre-installed, you'll be fine. Have had it
happen where a customer installed his own O2 sensor (cut/soldered the
connector) and the wires were reversed. He sent them back but couldn't get
a refund/exchange because they were "tampered with" (uhhhh...you have to
tamper with them to solder the connector on). Main reason I don't like the
universal O2's.

The Bosch and Delco are both noted as being "universal". The ones from Denso

and Standard Motor Products don't have that notation. Hard to tell from the
pictures they provide if any cutting or crimping is needed, all seem to have

some kind of 4 pin connector on the other end of the wire, though.

No idea. Rockauto has them at $60 (upper) and $52 (lower). Dealer's not open

right now for comparison.
