Jon I know it'll be a bit more of a PITA but I would 180 that test pipe. I would not install the WB facing that way.

1. Closer to the ground (Can Pick up road debris and such damaging/breaking the sensor)

2. Moisture in the exhaust is may potentially just sit on the sensor since essentially it will be facing downward shortening sensor life and giving inaccurate readings. Any WBO2 company will tell you anywhere between 10-2 is optimal

 

thats exactly what i was going to do.......i have a buddy that works a local shop and he can do it with the air tools..........BUT then i was thinking that my downpipe might also have a bung welded in it i just cant see it because i still have the factory undertray lol (million little clips ) .......i was hoping to go tomorrow and take a look. Hopefully the person who heatwrapped the DP didnt go over the Bung..............

 

If the harness is not long enough just extend it. I had this problem when I moved my wideband from a frog eyes pod to a pillar pod. Guy at aem tech support said just to make sure u cut all wires the same length and extend the same length and of course solder and heat shrink them and your good to go. Its a pain but do wat u gotta do.

 

The AEM cable is long enough, but do yourself a favor and weld a bung on your downpipe.

 

from the research I've done....my understanding is that the difference is minimal.

 

AEM is pretty generous with the length of the cable.

I ran mine from my steering coulumn pod, through the grommet to the left of the dead pedal, through the LF fender, back into the engine bay, and down the exhaust about 30 inches.

 

You can always extend the cable
