Default Any temp/mobile type widebands out that can just go up tailpipe and not mount in car?

Im looking to get a wideband setup that is just a temporary mount and not permanently mounted in the car.

I do alot of street tuning on cars before I put them on the dyno and if I could get a wideband that worked similar to the dynojet style that I could just clamp in the exhaust and run the wires into the cabin of the car (hook up power/ground or something) just for having in the car for short time and I could use on any type of vehicle.

Anyone seen anything like that from any companies?

Not such a great idea if the vehicle has cats. Why not just unplug one of the front O2's?

innovate makes a decent bung mount unit that you can connect the sensor to.

i am not a fan of tailpipes for anything, but most people don't have a lift and a AFM100 sensors that they tune with either.

Well on the dynojet, you just put the tube up the tailpipe and that seemed to work well.

I just wanted to be able to do it like that for use of tuning cars easier where it wont be permanently mounted

Alot of people use the LM2 because of its portability but the sensor plugs into one of your O2s

I can have my LM1 in a car in under 10 minutes. That's pretty temporary if you ask me. Just jack the car up (drive on rhino ramps), remove stock B1S1 O2, install WB, run chord in through driver's side window, and flash in an open loop tune. It's rather simple when the car is cool. If you're trying to sneak past a hot header, then things get a little tricky. But, it's not that bad...

Innovate makes one for the LM1. Itz a nice piece, however, I could not get accurate readings so I listened to Doc and everyone else and had a bung welded in.

tail pipe mounts seem to do OK at WOT but that's it...

...assuming you don't have dumped true duals or a CME exhaust like some of us cool Camaro guys do.
