Default Wideband placement

Hey guys,

I currently have my wideband installed in place of my driver side narrow band and just picked up a bung so Im looking to see where I should install it. I'm running Pacesetter long tubes and a catless x-pipe, for best results, should I be installing it at the crossover? or is there a preference in side or location?

THX

I would say about 6-8 inches from the head(s). You don't want it to close...for heat or to far that that it cools too much. I usually install mine 6 inches from my hotside (turbo).

How would you install it 6-8" from the head if you're running LT's unless you put it on one of the primaries? I've always heard about 12-18" from the collectors so the gases have a little room to mix before hitting the sensor. I would think the stock narrowband location would be fine.

My wideband is placed approx. 4 inches from my 02 sensors after the collectors.
