I ripped my O2 wires out...help

Hey guys, so I was changing my exhaust today and the pipes slipped and yanked the wires from the O2 sensor in my exhaust side. I was wondering does anyone know if there's a way to rewire or am I buying a new one...

I wouldn't recommending soldering o2 sensors, I have done a few on cars, never satisfied.

if it is at the plug you can solder it and/or put on a new conector... if it is at the pipe and sensor, you have to replace it man. you can get used on ebay pretty cheap i know from HD they are $$$$

You can't solder O2 sensor wires, the sensors get their outside air supply through the gap between the core and the insulation. You have to crimp if you must make a connection.
