1G neep help with innovative mtx-l

I am having trouble figuring out if I should wire in the brown or yellow wire. I do not have dsmlink yet and I have been searching around and cant find an exact answer. I will be running the innovative sensor in the stock front location. Do I just cut the pin 4 wire (white) and wire it directly in and leave the rest of it just in the bay or do I splice into it?

The MTX-L uses the yellow wire for the wideband signal and the brown wire for the narrowband signal. Since you're replacing the factory o2 sensor and you don't have ECMlink yet, you'll need to wire the brown wire into pin 4 so the ECU still has a narrowband signal to work from. Otherwise it'll just lock in open loop all the time and not take fuel trims into account.

Okay that makes alot more sense to me now, thanks alot. So I just cut that wire and wire right into it and dont worry about the rest of the wire, correct?

Correct. The brown wire should be the only one going to that pin. Make sure to leave as much as you can on the pin side so when you get ECMlink you can switch the input wire.
