Default AEM Wideband Issue

I installed an AEM X series wideband a while back and have been having issues with the readings at idle. The gauge dances around like it is a narrowband and will only give an consistent accurate reading when I go WOT. At idle and normal driving though it will fluctuate from 14 to 20 back and forth. I've run this gauge before in my 04 Cobra and never had this problem.

I wonder if the sensor location is causing this issue? I'm running catless LG 1 7/8" pros and currently have the sensor mounted in the passenger's side rear bung.



Would moving the bung say 12" closer towards the engine help?

That strikes me as rather far away, just at a glance. I'd want to rule that out before doing much else.
