Default AEM wideband

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/AV...s/?prefilter=0

I this the wideband that people are have good luck with ?

I have the innovative guage and its a pos and wont work and just keeps flashing. It is a very common issue with that guage after i googled it. Also i heard that the AEM is much easier to install. Is that true?

it was pretty easy. took less than 30 minutes not including welding the bung to the exhaust.

zip-tied the wiring away from the exhaust

ran it up the tranny tunnel, through the hole for the shifter (you having an automatic prolly means you will need to make a hole), behind the radio and into one of the ac vents i popped out.

since i do not use the stereo much we tied power to the feed for the head unit. (i am sure there is a better way but i didnt really care)

It's good, I'm running it. Installed the sensor in the driver side in the ypipe right behind the header, ran the wiring up through the grommet on the firewall behind the PCM. My tuner told me to ground it to the motor though, so I did redo that.

You can definitely find it cheaper than $200 also.

I see a few on ebay for $170 new with free shipping. I don't think Summit will price match Ebay though. If they do then nice, but I doubt it.

Best price I saw, $165 shipped.

I've hooked up the serial to EFI Live, it was easy also.

I got mine for $170 from a reputable ebay store, just search it.

It's super easy to install. My car already had a wideband bung welded into the exhaust so all I did was screw it in nice and tight and plug it in to the gauge and you're good. Route the wires however you want to and you're done. It seems to be very accurate, some guys say it's not the best but for the money you definitely won't find a better one and it has been good to me so far.

Yes my y pipe has the bung after the o2 on the driver side also. The wiring on the innovative was the hard part.
