wideband install?

i recently got a autometer cobalt wideband and just wanted to ask a few questions. i have a stock dp with a gutted cat and wanted to know if the o2 sensor for the wideband will fit on the stock dp. im pretty sure the previous owner had a wideband installed but im not sure. thanks

if you have a highflow or a catless downpipe then your AFR will fluctuate quite quickly because of the additional flow. if you have a stock downpipe then it should hold pretty steady around 14.7 idle (assuming its a stock tune)

which o2 sensor. if its the first o2 sensor you will screw up your fuel trims and cause your car to run like ****. if its the 2nd o2 sensor then your wideband won't be 100% accurate because its behind the cat

well since its a stock DP your only going to have 1 o2 sensor bung but you do have a gutted cat. so you might be able to get away with putting it in that bung without having any negative effects.

I'm on 60s and it wont stay still to save its life. Itl stay steady wen I do pulls tho. Ima say its normal even if your on a stock or st. 2 tune, since theyr not the greatest out there

I had mine installed om the pass. Side, just put it before the cat where its easily accessible, don't put it straight down tho! Just route your wores so they don't burn on the exhaust

wideband readings with a highflow cat will tend to not bounce as much as a catless though

lol what crack was i smoking

what i meant to say is if you have a header or a bigger downpipe then it will tend to bounce more rather then something that is closer to stock.

atleast that is what i have noticed and also have been told from most people that have dealt with widebands and exhausts.
