Default Wideband Bung position?

Hello everyone

Where is the best place to put the wideband O2 bung?

I'm switching to LTs and a custom ORY (from MACs and Y with Magnaflow cats)

Right now I have it in the merge Y pipe, is there a better place for a better reading?

Thanks,
Mark

I know myself along with a few other people around here have them in the merge collectors. Seems to make sense there and it's pretty easy to setup.

BTW how's the new setup running?

I was concerned about the sensor getting too hot so I put it about 3 feet back from the header collectors.

Mark, It goes on the collector but I made sure not to put it pointing down or moisture will sit around that area and cause corrosion. Just put it in the 4 or 8 o'clock position.

Yes, the collector or immediately following is best.

Run a dual wideband for both banks if you are going down the deep end and monitoring everything

The merge isnt a bad spot, but that depends on what you are looking to do with it.
