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??

here's the reply from PLX, I'm going with their option....
We would recommend installing the O2 sensor before the muffler. It is correct that it will limit the readings to one cylinder, but that will be give the most accurate readings. I'd rather have an accurate reading from one cylinder than a faulty reading from all four |
