Without going into nitty gritty details, they wanted me to pay for shipping back to them for their mistake, but finally agreed to pay both ways. I marked the correct location for the replacement O2 bung, and emailed them pictures of the issue, and included a letter of what needed to be done to make it work. They sent it back to me, with the new O2 bung in the correct location, but even though the pictures speak for themselves, they just welded a plug into the bung, creating even more of an issue. After numerous phone calls back and forth, and after shipping my downpipe back and still not fixed, I was literally told that they won't mess with it anymore and I had to find someone else to fix it on my dime. Great customer service, nothing like paying $400 for a downpipe that doesn't fit and not even willing to fix correctly......

Just fit checked my rear bung location with the sensor. The sensor cabling is up against the transmission. The dp also need to rotated in that direction to get some clearance up top.
If the bung was located an inch or two towards the front looks like it would clear just fine even with the dp rotated some more.

Can the stock 02 just be disconnected from the harness alltogether with no issues/cels/etc?? I'll be running MS if that helps any?

Figured I would ressurect this thread rather than start a new one.
I spoke with Stephanie at BEGI today about the O2 bung location; they are building an S kit for me right now. She said that they were working on this issue last week and have a new location for the bung determined. If I remember correctly she said it would be at the 12 o'clock (vertical) position. I'll let you all know how it works out when I get my kit installed.

If you look in the mess I've yet to clean up by where the coils are sitting, ziptied with 2 white ties to the brake booster tube is my LC1. Any further over and the sensor wire wouldn't reach, and supposedly the stock location is too close to the turbo for a wideband sensor. I hacked off the connector from an old o2 sensor off a miata and used the connector for plug and play on the Wideband, so I haven't decided yet if I'm going to tie the controller to the PPF and leave wire running under the hood to the factory harness, or if I'm going to come in behind the passenger seat somehow.
Sure the hell can't go through under my center console cause theres already too many fat cables running under it and the damn thing hardly seats down as is.
