I got a shop quoted me 50$ if it easy to get to would they have to take anything apart to get to the 10-2 spot in the exhaust.

I cannot get the old o2 sensor out so I'm gonna have a bung welded in and simulate the o2 sensor threw dsmlink.

And just keep the old o2 sensor in there(cause its broke)

Pull off the downpipe yourself and take it somewhere that can drill the hole and weld in the bung. Just mark the spot before you remove the downpipe.

$50 sounds about right. When I got a o2 bung welded in,it literally took the guy 5 mins. threw it up on the lift,torched the hole where i told him,an put the bung in.
 

Yeti, i got a extra bung with a plug if it will save you any money off your quoted fee (free from me just pay ship or pick it up in fontana). If i recall correctly, Garfield (tuners nation) charged me 30$.
 

Sorry you can't get the original out...replacing the stocker with a WBO2 and then simulating the analog for the stock O2 would have been ideal (at least it was for me). Whenever I get something welded they think that I am rich. This is why I haven't had anything welded in years. Good Luck!

Female welder? That's something you don't hear often. $50 seems a little steep, but welding is expensive and if you don't know a guy it sounds about right.
 

It's not hard to do....I think I got lazy once and paid meineke in charlotte $20 to do it....call around because $50 is high IMO.

Where exactly do I want the wideband bung welded on the downpipe.
