Resolved Wideband O2 sensor placement

[BLACK'98DSM]

Simple question today:

Should I put a wideband O2 sensor before or after the cat? I'm assuming before to get an accurate reading, and since the one after is to check that the cat still works...

Read the instructions that come with your kit, is it an Innovate, AEM or what?

I have my Innovate in the stock location, no heat sink, no problems. But before the cat FOR SURE.

Ideally before any flexi as well as they can leak over time, i have mine where it bends after the oil pan before the flexi and its close enough to read accurate and far enough away for it to last as i have had the same sensor for years Near 5 or 6 years now

Not yet purchased. I am searching for as much info as possible before buying, as I do with everything else.

Thanks Marty, that's what I thought.

I will be going to the collector immediately after the headers, because that's where my current one is.

Oh yea, I'm N/T btw

I found this, It is pretty simple but also pretty helpful to anybody with a broad question about wideband o2's.

Stock location then.. Are you planning on putting a Turbo on this N/T?

Stock front o2 sensor location with ZT-2 for something like 10-12 years. I replaced the sensor one time but it was due to a mis-diagnosed problem and it turned out that the sensor is fine. I keep it as a spare now.

Turbo: no
Tuning: yes

Anywhere before the cat, stock location should be fine.
