Can I hook a PLX SM-AFR wideband to the stock 02 sensors? I have a wet plate kit (not installed yet) and I'm thinking of getting the PLX SM-AFR wideband. I only have a catback and I'm not planning on getting headers yet (because of ground clearance on my lowered car), so I'd like to hook up the PLX to the stock exhaust.
I've read that it's a PITA to weld an 02 bung to the stock exhaust (at least without dropping it), so I'd like to plug the PLX sensors where the stock 02 sensors are. Is that possible? If it is, then which of the stock sensors should I use?
Then I presume I can just use the narrowband outlet of the PLX to send the signal back to the PCM, right? This isn't just for a one-off test, I want the PLX to be permanently installed in the car (with a gauge).

Also interested in this if anybody has managed to get it to work. I love my PLX except that I didn't bother welding in a 2nd bung for it to use instead of the stock one.
