Default Installing an O2 Sensor Bung

Is there an O2 Sensor Bung that can be installed without welding? Maybe one that would tap in?

Never heard of such a thing. You can use the rear post cat position.

You should be able to get a muffler shop to weld one in pre cat for pretty cheap.

Also, some people have told me that the post CAT location is fine for getting A/F ratios. Is this true? It would seem that the CAT would mess up the O2 readings, but according to one of the local dyno guys they've measured pre and post CAT without any differences.

Previous posts here said .6 to .7 leaner post cat, my Dyno shop said aprx. .3 leaner post cat, they've run both a wide band pre cat and a tailpipe sniffer on the same car.

Tailpipe sniffer showing 13.0 AFR = 12.7 AFR pre cat.

If that's the case then I'm running a bit rich. Thanks for the info.

What is the typical cost for installing a WB O2 bung pre-cat on a LT header collector? Is $100 expensive?
