Wideband location

I have an 07 cobalt 2.2 with a jbp vortex header off of an lsj giving me 3 o2 bugs. I have one pluged, could i hook my wideband up to the one at the base of the header and it read the correct a/f mixture? Thanks

its better to put it on top of the header so the sensor will last longer...but it should still work

that could put it AFTER the cat... i was always told 3-6 inches from the header, or before the cat... which ever comes first

if its too close to the header it can burn up the sensor. i got my cat moved to actually under the car and my wideband is a few inches before it
