in the 2 setups that I have run I put the sensor just after the first sensor before the cat with the sensor mounted less than 90 degrees to level. Most kits will have instructions on how to mount it. If you run it after the cat the it won't read properly. Also, remember that you are going to be reading one bank, which ever bank that you have it installed on.

I don't have cats installed, so should I just pick a spot on the section of pipe that they welded in? And what does the angle mean? I just planned on having a bung welded on. As far as a bank specific since one side as a rule should run as the other side with minor differences. I'm running near stock and my only future mods are cam and headers.
The gauge I got is a used one. AEM brand

i put mine on the drivers side right under the drain plug for the floor, so I could run the wires up through that. When you weld in your bung make sure its angled upwards or youll get a rich reading if fuel puddles by the sensor.

I would like to know why the weld in wide band instructions tell you to go before the cat's, but when you are getting a dyno tune, they stuff the wide band in the tail pipe ???

If you don't have any cats, then why not just put it in one of the rear o2 sensor bungs?
I would put it on the driver's side instead of the rear o2 sensor. No need to weld anything and it will be more accurate than after the merge since the closer to the collector the better.

I mounted mine level on the drivers side no issues in 6+ years. Its about 8" back from the collector. Drivers side is supposed to be the leaner bank. Or could bling it out with dual wide bands.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but you shouldn't take out an o2 sensor, and install a wideband in that o2 bung. Your motor needs both driver and passenger side o2's for the pcm to adjust correctly.

Yes, but it only needs the first two (the upstream sensors) to calculate fuel trim. The suggestion to replace an O2 sensor was for a downstream sensor on a vehicle without catalytic converters...which would make the downstream sensors useless anyway since their main function is to monitor cat efficiency.
