Default I need picture of wideband installed on the stock exhaust please

Like the title said... I finally jack the car up and was hanging out under the car to find a place for wideband sensors... No room

It almost look like I will need to remove exhaust for install the wideband bungs. Anyone got some pictures and pointers on how you do yours?

I can do it to the side right before the cats but that is toward bottom of the pipe. The instruction recommends to install on top...

i just replace a narrowband and put it in open loop for tuning purposes and remove it when I am done. pointless to run it full time. it's going to show stoich all the time except when you're wide open throttle and even then it isn't going to vary much unless you modify and tune it.

Thanks for the info. The car will have blower on it soon and exhaust will remain stock for a while.

You can also drill a hole on the engine side of the cat and weld in a bung.

dang man, I thought that's what you were asking....yes, of course if you want a permanent install you need to be in front of the cats and weld in a bung.

There isn't much room there... And the wideband sensor needs to be install preferably on top to keep away from moisture. I just didn't see any place easily to get to without remove cat to drill hole and weld bung.

I also would like to see some pictures of where people actually installed the sensor at...
