New RB header and wideband bung
 

the new ones all seem to be facing obviously downward. What's everyone doing, drilling and welding for a new one?

you're strong. just twist the pipe!

Picture of the RB headers with the wideband bung in the wrong place? I am just curious about it.

Mine had it in the wonk place too. I'm just having my test pipe drilled, I dont want anyone drilling my beautiful new header.

I'd like to see a picture of this as well.

I'll attach a photo soon, currently dealing with another problem on the same car.

I always install a bung near the bottom for dyno use.

Here ha go. Horrible picture but you get the idea. Faces down. Great location for dyno wideband, yes. I dunno about everyday though.

Yeah. Wrong spot. Pretty shitty for them to do that. A sensor won't last long like that.

I would honestly call and complain, then send the header back and tell them to fix it. For the price the RB header costs, it should be damn near perfect.

i dont see any problem with that to be honest.

It allows condensation to collect inside the sensor.

I think that's how my 94-97 header looks that I bought back in 2011.

I mean I get that, BUTT:

or is the idea more: IF some water molecules make it into the sensor when suspended in the exhaust, they can collect inside, pool inside and kill it? (this is same concern with MS MAP sensor)

:laugh:

Likecat for you :likecat:

Yes to the second part.

fine, ill yield to that.

I'm sure they just did it that way to clear the trans. I agree it should be verticalish, if anything to keep it up out of the way.

The old ones were a lot more vertical. And most wideband installation manuals say between 10 and 2 for the bung.

no, i know this. i honestly just wanted to draw the picture so i set myself up.

I liked it. The butt wasn't as detailed as the rest of the drawing though. Could have been a little more realistic.
