No-Weld O2 Sensor Mount

[jayh007]

Installing wideband sensor. Anyone use the no weld sensor mount by AEM. I would Appreciate any comments
I don't have any welding equipment so this would be cheaper than taking it some where to have it done.

Just curious why you would use that, when it will cost you about $20 to have a bung welded in at any muffler shop. Given the space available, I'm also pretty sure you're going to have to drop the H pipe to drill it out anyway, so why not bring it in and have a bung welded?

X2 on welding it. Quick and easy for a muffler shop.

I've used it with zero issues and up to 16lbs of boost!

I used it cuz I was tired of the crappy welders in NYC making crappy welds on my car.

It was used with my jba long tube headers and off-road h-pipe. I would do it again if I had too but I started welding for my self and getting better lol.

My powerhouse turbo kit didn't have an extra bung added in the DP for the tuner to use, so when I first put the kit on the tuner welded a bung in. Currently I use it for my wideband.

Cheaper to just have someone weld a bung in.

Same here, i live across the river in Jersey and the last time i took a header to a muffler shop i took it back 3 times before they got it right.
I know its hard to screw up but where there's a will there a way and I like doing things myself.

They murder the pipes and make really sh*tty look welds like someone blind was doing it with someone else instructing them in Chinese or something lol.

Yea its probably leak proof due to the fact all the slugs are built up about an inch....not pretty at all.

I will NEVER let a muffler shop touch my exhaust again. I took a piece of pipe to have a bung welded in and it looked absolutely awful. I had only been welding for a few months at the time and I did better when I re-did their job.

Some muffler shops have barbarians as welders.

Yeah I took it also to get welded and the guy did it on the wrong spot even when I circled it with a sharpie where I wanted it, it was such a crapy weld too and the guy still wanted to charge me full amount 25, I dropped a 10 dollar bill told him he ruined it and walked out.

Well I guess if they were good welders they wouldn't be working in a muffler shop...

 

[GallopingFord]

I bought one of those since I didn't want to weld anything too. Long story short, I had it welded.

I marked the position and orientation for a bung that would work, and took my midpipe off to have a stainless bug welded on by the best guy in town.

Money well spent. Permanent WB in that spot now.

I don't understand how people take their stuff to a "muffler shop." Ok for a daily driver. Maybe!

skwerl would just say let the dealership do it!
