O2 Sensor Wire Splicing

I'm finally getting rid of the stock cat and cans and replacing them with a TBR system. Everything came off fine except for the two of the flange bolts which snapped trying to take off the cat and the O2 sensor. I just couldn't get the darn O2 sensor to come off, even after a heavy dose of PB. In frustration, I just pulled back the protective sheath of the O2 wires and cut the wires. Once I had the cat out I could get better leverage on the sensor and while standing on the cat, it finally broke it free.

Now, rather then just splicing the wires back together, I was thinking of using some sort of quick disconnect for all four wires, so the next time I have to remove the collector pipe(looking for a shock upgrade in the near future) I can just disconnect the the wires and remove the O2 sensor in a much more convenient place.

Can I use your standard automotive wire connects? Is the O2 system so sensitive that using a connector could mess up the system? If I can use some sort of quick connection set up, does anyone know of the best ones to use?
