Default Installing a Wideband question

I have a PLX Wideband with 2 1/16 inch gauge im going to be installing soon. I am gonna weld in a O2 fitting on the Y-pipe to install the sensor there. My question is where is the best place to route the wires from the O2 sensor to get them into the passenger compartment so i can hook it up to my gauge, etc...

Thanks

There is a grommet under the driver side floor mat. You will have to remove the trim and pull up on the carpet to access this grommet. I think its the best way to run the sensor as you dont have to drill any holes.

cut a hole in the rubber shifter boot under the center console and run it through there. I have my wideband wires, nitrous wires, and nitrous lines all running through there. Very easy to run through there too.

I used this access point as well. Very easy.

Doesn't that only work for M6 cars?

I would run the wire up under the PCM and in through the grommet that the system wires run through.

This is how most of mine is done... you will have to remove the computer and passenger's side kick panel.
