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??

If its dual inlet, (2 cylinders per inlet) then weld 2 bungs and move the O2 sensor when tuning. Plug the unused one.
Nothing like getting good readings on one half of the engine while the other side is lean and melts! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |

It can send an average or discrete signal to My innovate gauge. I can run 2 gauges to get both readings. I have seen other modules that accept 4 WB O2 sensors... |
