I'm working on getting a wideband sensor connected on my car, I came across AEM's no-weld sensor bungs which clamp onto the pipe, anyone have any experience or opinions on this form of connection ?. Since I don't weld, it seems like an easy way to connect the sensor and the cost would be lower then sending out my parts for welding. Thanks for any replies.

i had used the aem product on my old j's racing ti since it is known for o2 bung to crack at the welds, high quality piece for sure but i did had minor exhaust leak i used to use silicone because the supplied gasket was so so. to be honest i would rather get it weld for a cleaner look its kinda bulky

where would you put this in the exhaust? you could also get a TP and have the bung welded to the TP, any exhaust shop can weld it.

Thanks for the reply, given that you had a leak with it makes me want to consider having a bung welded. A leak near a wideband sensor can cause errors in the reading. I may just skip it as I was concerned about the gasket integrity.

I'm going to put it in at the front of my HFC, I think I will end up welding the bung in place as you suggest, given that the one reply mentioned the potential for leakage. I may just skip the no weld method.

yeah man that's the way to go. you probably already no this but any leakage will throw off the sensors readings

zeroptzero

yup, that sounds like the best way to go. Thanks.
