So,. . . My header/muffler system on my shop-car works flawlessly and actually sounds really good too. However, I REALLY love the sound of the Porsche banana can muffs. So I'm thinking of converting my shop-car to a banana can muffler. Switching could also eliminate the occasional dragging of the muffler coming out of steep parking lots. The big issue though is where would I end up mounting the O2 bung so it will read correctly?? I'm thinking that with a muffler like this one below, over on the right side (closest end) near the end would be a good spot. . . What say you??

I have submitted a request to PLX regarding the sensor placement as I have the same muffler as you and would like to make sure that the readings are correct.. I would rather have correct readings for one exhaust pipe before the muffler if I have to, rather than risk improper readings from placing the bung on the exhaust. Stay tuned for their reply...your pic of the exhaust should be of great help to them in giving me an answer, I was unsure of the chamber layout until I saw your info.
