Any pictures out there of o2 sensor on type 1 sidewinder exhaust system?
I am looking for pictures after the collector and v-band clamp. Possibly on the curve of exhaust just before the muffler. This is an a1 exhaust.
Trying to mockup an exhaust outside the car if possible. If not, i shall wait until i install the motor.
thanx for any help

You can order this from CB performance and it goes between the header and muffler or you can make one. |

OP.
Most of the AFR sensor bungs in my headers are placed in the collector.
I get decent results from that location.

I have a o2 at the collector and one 26" down on the sidewinder weed burner. exact same reading on both.
The one further down I just capped off.

Thanx for the replies, was trying to get as far down stream as possible.
I put one on my merged header after the collector and work great on my other car. Was just trying to do the same on this sidewinder. It seems a little tighter where i was thinking on this other exhaust.
Appreciate the feedback as always

I put mine in the exhaust section, just after the flange pointing up and forward on a few different sidewinder setups. Angles up so the wiring runs next to the body, simple and easy.
Looking for pictures of the sensor, for now this is the best I have

Interesting read. Wasn't too sure how critical the position is. I have a hide-a-way but can't use the CB style adapter and need to find a spot to weld in the bung. Sounds like there's a fair bit of leeway as long as it's after the collector and before the muffler. Respecting other good installation practices too. I'm doing my own data logger with a narrow band sensor.
