Default Wideband Sensor Placement

I wanted to put up a poll to see where everyone is putting their wideband sensor.

I just purchase a LC-1 and I am unsure where I should place it in the exhaust system. I have read all the threads. So vote and post! Thanks

I guess it is important to note that my xpipe is about mid car.

If you have long tubes and no cats, use the rear 02 sensor bung

Driver side near the collector and in front of the CATS if you have them.

+2
theoretically #7 is the leanest cylinder, hence why you want to monitor that bank.

I have mine on the drivers side before the cat. I think I did it there just because that is where I had the most room. Keep in mind the sensor needs to be between 3 and 9 o'clock up high, but I'm not positive why. I think it was to keep moisture off the sensor. It was something I read somewhere a long time ago.

I've heard the same thing, don't want moisture to condense on the sensor and sit on it and ruin it...
