Wideband o2 Question

I've recently ordered an Innovate LC-1 Wideband o2 Sensor as a little Christmas present to myself (Merry Christmas).

I was wondering if it would be OK to install the sensor in one of the unused bungs on my header. It's on the rear header so it would only be monitoring the rear cylinder bank.

Would this still give me an accurate AFR?

Here's a pic of where I want to install it.

If you do that then you will only be monitoring only one bank. You need to place the wideband o2 sensor after the 2 collectors merge together.

u have to put after the final collector to get the reading from all cylinders not just cylinders 1,3,5. take it to a exhaust shop and have them weld in a bung after.
