Default LM 1 installation???

I am getting ready to install the LM 1 air fuel kit
The ends on the harness that go to the exhaust are pretty big
So where did you all cut the hole for the o2 sensor to get the harness to the exhaust
Did you all run into any surprises when installing this kit
thanks

I drilled a hole in the pipe just after the collecter and welded the bung in there. Works great. I just run the harness out the side and under the door. The weather strip allows the cord to run into the cockpit with no probelm. The laptop and the rest of the wiring sit on the passenger seat or my sons lap.

I just marked the location on the collector where I wanted it and then took the header to a muffler shop and then had them weld it on.. I'm pretty sure the guy did it for free... Corvette fan...

They do sell an adapter for going inside the pipe but as said above there is to much chance for contamination. I guess if you were to stick it way down it would be OK but I would think if you are driving the car it could fall out.
