Tapping stock downpipe for wideband
Since im not getting the full exhaust for a few months yet
Quick question, What material is this made of?
Steel or Aluminum?

I wouldnt do that! When you torch a hole in the downpipe, fragments or dripage of the metal remain in the pipe, when you weld the O2 bung in, and then install the sensor, those fragments can distrupte the flow of the exhaust gas over the head of the sensor and possibably providing incorrect a/f ratios. Have the exhaust shop drill the hole out then have them tack the O2 bung and then connect via a weld so that no fragments of dripage leak down into the pipe causing the sensor not to read correctly.
