Is there like an actual tool version of an air/fuel ratio gauge that I wouldn’t have to actually drill in my side pipes to put on? Like one I could temporarily clip to the end on the pipe when I need to test and tune and then take right back off with no modifications to my headers or pipes?

Innovate has a tailpipe "sniffer" probe that clamps into the end of your exhaust pipe. It works with sidepipes or regular full-length exhaust systems. I use one regularly when tuning cars that do not have an ox sensor bung.

they do make a tool that mounts at the tailpipe.
I mounted a AEM sensor in one of my side pipes which worked for about 100 miles before failing. in that time I learned my AF ratio would go from slightly rich to lean back to slightly rich again depending on throttle. I was able to correct it slightly with adjustments.

OH MAN YEAH! Gonna definitely look into that. Thanks!
How does this work when the makers of O2 sensor using equipment all tell you to have it at least 18" of pipe after the sensor and 6-10" from the collector. I don't understand it because the ends of the pipes would have additional air mixing into the exhaust.
Innovate Motorsports does make some nice Exhaust gas Temperature gauges for use in a Car. The ones used in aircraft are normally made for 4 cylinder and 6 cylinder aircraft engines. I have always wanted one that would allow you to see all eight while driving down the road. I would buy an aircraft unit if it would shown all eight at the same time. The one I had in my Cessna 172 had six separate indicators on the one gauge.

I agree with this. I know that O2 sensors for a/f meters are heated. But my car in particular has a heated O2 5 feet downstream of the exhaust valve and still goes into open loop at idle.
Air/Fuel Ratio Tool?
