NTK Rear O2 Sensors
Just received my NTK rear O2 sensors (RockAuto - $73.79 each) and they look have the direct fit plug-in (no splicing). They're being installed next Friday. According to VCDS, that should clear my CEL.
BTW I had the Beck/Arnley 1564176 (RockAuto) front O2 sensors installed about 12 months/8,000 miles ago, and have had no issues/CEL because of them. They were also direct fit plug-in (no splicing) and at that time were on sale for $13 a sensor.
Hope this helps anybody looking to purchase front or rear O2 sensors.

Car was getting hho though intake and idled like that for 50 minutes.(cost of service 80$)
Runs quieter and smother at idle and its sharper on the throtle but just a little bit.

Had the NTK rear O2 sensors installed yesterday. I can confirm, they are direct fit (no splicing needed). I am glad I had my mechanic do the job. He said the previous O2 sensors were original and fused with the exhaust. Once he got them out, he had to re-thread the openings. Not a job I would want to do or could do.
On a performance note, the car does seem to idle smoother when at stop lights/resting while in gear. As for driving, I have noticed no real difference. I will see over the next few months if my MPGs increase. Currently I am getting 16.3 mpg.

Up Stream
Both front sensors took to a total of 1.6 hours. The sensors were original and by the looks of them after they were removed, the job was not easy. Sensors were bent and twisted. They were replaced with plug and play (no splicing needed) sensors.
Down Stream
Both rear sensors took a total of 2.5 hours. They said it took closer to 4.5 hours but they gave me a break since I'm a loyal customer.

^^^ Just gobbled up a pair of these after reading your post. Have had some rattling and sounds to me like a little exhaust leak so when I get it up in the air to do these hopefully ill get those issues addressed as well and put that CEL to rest! Also have a high and fluctuating idle when in park, so hope this solves that issue as well. Thanks for the heads up!
