Wideband Install
I need some opinions/advice.
I'm going to be installing my headers soon, and with them, an aem wideband. I'm not sure I want to have the gauge mounted in my car, so I'm looking for suggestions as to what most people have done. Right now, the mods are fairly simple, only headers with high flow cats and the new era air intake. Later down the road I will be doing more, but for now pretty basic mods.
Is it really that important to install the wideband right now, and if it is, what's the best way to install it where I don't have to see the gauge all the time?
I've read that some people just use the rear O2 bungs for the wideband, and if that's okay to do with just bolt-ons, should I go that route?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions and help.

The wires plug into the back of the gauge. Just tuck them in the dash and modify a single gauge pod sit it will sit where you want it when you run it.
If you don't have a tune, nitrous or fi, you really don't need a wideband.
