Default Wideband O2 Sensor

I was just wondering where i should mount my 02 sensor for my wideband gauge? I was thinking about 2-3 inchs back from where the dp mounts to the manifold before the flex pipe or is that too close to the exhaust manifold and the stock 02 sensor. there seems to be a lot of room there.

I'd shoot for close to the stock rear location.

Intuition. lol

That's just where I would do it. But I'd think anywhere in there'd be fine.

I just wanted to avoid any moisture by putting it at the top of the down bend but it would be easier to have it mounted where the old one was on the stock pipe, just in the 3 o clock position.

That's where I always planned on mounting one.

Seems about right for the rear factory location.

Mine is mounted just after the bend in the downpipe. No issues. It is at about 3 o'clock because of space.

ya fingers crossed, considering when i ordered the dp form wbodystore it arrived with a tack on the flex pipe about an inch up from where its welded to the rest of the pipe i'm hoping it's just on the outter part.

no, i'm talking about my wideband sensor. i have a wire that is suppose to be connected to a wide open swtich so that the wideband gauge can log the a/f ratio at WOT, but usually a wide open switch is conected to the tb but with our electric throttle bodies its impossible so i was wondering if there was another way.
