Instead of drilling and welding in a bung for an O2 sensor prior to the muffler,(clients car) how accurate would a tailpipe extension tube with an O2 sensor be?
Im thinking of a 1 foot long tailpipe extension with the O2 sensor welded in as close to the muffler as possible, yet without touching the stock system. I intend to clamp the pipe in place with a stainless sleeve clamp so its air tight. Any thoughts? Rich |

This specific system is a modified bursch with a single muffler at the end...its really not doing to much. Its loud.
The only place I could get all four is just in front of the muffler and that would leave a mark...I would have to drill, weld, plug etc. If it was mine, NP...but its not mine so I am going to sniff from the end. Its a four wire O2 setup with an LED readout box...I assume the two heater wires would get power from batteries....dunno. I borrowed the unit. So, will the readings be diluted and read to lean?
