So you gotta cut your dp in half?? It is a neat idea though.

Looks to me like you drill a hole (probably with a holesaw or a unibit) and clamp the assembly on the pipe. But that's just what it looks like to me.

Yep, just drill a hole and put the cuff around the DP. Neat idea....wonder how bad it leaks.

I have these style band clamps holding the exhaust together on my ty and el camino. Zero leaks... They actually seal better than standard clamps and they don't squeeze the pipe so you can slide it apart later. Never tried one with the O2 bung but I will be.. I will let you know how it works out.

Put a bead of red RTV around the drilled hole, and it'll be fine.

You'll probably still have to take whatever pipe you're putting it in off, in order to drill from a top-down angle.

Re: Great O2 bung solution

In case anyone was curious if one of these would work I did end up getting one. I took a uni-bit, drilled a hole in my down pipe, threw the clamp around the hole, and threaded in the WB O2 sensor. It took me longer to jack up the truck than it did to install the O2 sensor. Worked perfect! Leak free, and easy install! If anyone is wanting to install a second O2 bung, and don't have access to a welder I recommend this setup. I didn't even have to remove the DP :tup:
