Fancy oxygen sensors that allow your EFI to cope with changes to air filter and pipes better than the stock ones....for my money I would go with a proper tuner like a FuelPak.

They aren't sensors.

They are a pair of resistors that are added between the existing sensors and the ECU as a voltage divider to increase the bias voltage on the sensors. This makes it look as though the engine is running lean and the ECU compensates accordingly.

A cheap and cheerful stage-1 upgrade option.

Oh you can tell your an evo guy...Oxygen sensors? nope. All they are is a resistor that goes between your oxygen sensors and ecm to reduce the signal tricking the ECM into putting out more fuel.
