Default Routing Wideband Sensor

Currently putting a wideband in my C5. I have everything done electrical up in the cabin, all that is left is to run the wire for the sensor down under the car into the exhaust. I already have a wideband O2 bung in my XSPower header system, so all I have to do is run the wire down.... where is the best spot you guys are using to get wires from the cabin to down underneath the car? Thanks!

There is a wiring harness coming through the fire wall behind the battery tray. I ran my W/B sensor cable through there. If I had a manual transmission, I probably would have gone through the tunnel opening at the shifter.

if you have a stick right down the tunnel plate .theres a small cutout you can run your wire . but you have to remove the tunnel plate.

I went through the hood release cable grommit, tied to the clutch slave hose to keep away from headers. The loom at the passenger footwell fuse area is good as well.

I fished it though the transmission tunnel without removing the plate. I fed a wire through first and pulled it through. You have to watch close when fishing through though. It hung up on something for a while, but eventualy I got up and through the rubber shifter boot.
