Wideband location

Getting a set of headers soon and was wondering where everyone mounted their wideband O2's at. I want to get a second bung welded in the passenger collector facing towards the front of the engine, above the starter. Seems like the best place to mount it as that is where there is the most room......

usually in the collector or as far up stream as possible for a correct reading. be sure to tilt the 02 bung a degree or few meaning tip down, wire end up.

"...be sure to tilt the 02 bung a degree or few meaning tip down, wire end up..." could you elaborate on why?

it prevents moisture from collecting in the tip of the sensor.
