Default Where dose everyone put their wideband at?

Hello, I searched around and found out how to intall the LC1 wideband, but was wondering where people were putting their sensors and (if they have it) their guage? i was thinking of sticking the sensor right were the Y pipe and I pipe meat each other to get the average reading of both sides of the pipes. i know i cant have the sensor 3 feet from the tail pipes (saw taht on the video of innovate's website) and i havnt bought my headers yet or the new ORY pipe, yet. so that's why i was wanting to run it at the I, is' that a good location? BTW the cat's dont exist anymore, that's why i was thinking of runnin it back there. thanks in advance to everyone!!

I've read recommendations of putting it on the drivers side, about 6" ~ 12" from the header collector.
Reason for drivers side, is that #7 cyl is notoriously lean.
In which case you would always err on the side of safety, ie compensating to more rich than unknowingly lean.

Mine is about that distance from the header collector, but on the pass side.
I also have no cats.

A lot of people also run them in the stock front 02 bungs and use the LC-1 as a narrowband as well.

just for the LC-1 make sure it is either exactly horizontal or slightly vertical as condensation on the sensor is an issue, it states this in the manual aswell i believe.

i have mine in the collector itself... but if I did it over again I'd put it several inches further downstream... sometimes my sensor overheats

With the clamp? Mine is also in the tailpipe because of the sts backpressure.. Where are you going to move it... Seems to me like it wouldnt work too well back there...
