Aem Uego o2 sensor question
What sup guys, I just received the aem uego today and I had read and understand that the best way to mount the 02 sensor is on top of the test pipe or horizontally. Other positions would harm the sensor. .. I currently have the auto meter a/f gauge and it's not too accurate. So can you guys please tell me is the current 02 sensor I have right now mounted correctly so that I can go ahead install the new one provided by aem. Here is the picture of current 02 now and this is how it is when I bought the car...

yes any position is good as long its not at 6 oclock position. And why does the angle matter?? whats the purpose??? Actually the sensor is supposed to be as close as possible to the exhaust manifold, BUT not too close that it will burn. It will give you more accurate read. At the test pipe is fine too and a lot of people use it because its easy to replace the stock o2 sensor.

the only thing i could thing of if the sensor is pointing down (head up) is condensation from the exhaust system could form on the sensor and since its pointing down water could get into the sensor and ruin it. im not sure if these sensors are waterproof or what. with the sensor pointing upwards, the water wouldnt be able to get down into the sensor.thats only my prediction, dont hold me to it
