I'm looking to relocate my O2 sensor off of my cat. I have a magnaflow from a mustang, but obviously, no hole for an O2 sensor. Can i relocate it upstream? How? Chop from another car's exhaust? Anyone done this successfully with NO straight piping and NO check engine light/ loss of performance/gas mileage.
How many o2 sensors do you have?
If this is the 97line like your info says you should have two.
The upstelream one is the important one
The one that is put AFTER the cat can be left out completely as long as its still plugged into the harness.
If you put the rear o2 sensor in place of the front, what are you gonna do with the front?
The front o2 sensor is THE ONLY sensor that the ECU uses to control fuel trims. The rear is ONLY there to monitor cat function.
You can also put holes for o2 sensors anywhere.
Go to any exhaust shop like Midas or something and ask then to weld in an o2 bung.

LOL
Get yourself a new O2 Sensor Bung and weld it in.
Upstream needs to stay before the cat (and as close to it as possible) while the downstream needs to stay after the cat (and as close to it as possible).

I will add that on the scale of "intricate questions" with "0" being a wrecking ball and "10" being a particle collider this question rates roughly a "2" or "Hammer".

Why are you asking that?
Im asking because I want a deeper sound. I currently have a cherry bomb exhaust in place of the stock exhaust. I also cut off the rear converter.
Bigger pipe? Different muffler? Or both?
