Default Relocation of afr sensor, Pro's & Con's

Just a query really to see if anyone else has done it.

I've buggered two of these sensors now & I'm considering shifting it to the top of the downpipe like the early classic, any one done this on a newage with the stock sensor ??

Any Pro's & Con's

Yes I have
The pros are i use it for logging my afrs and its out of the way of l/c and anti lag
So not as prone to damage
Cons closed loop fueling seems less stable
Shortly I'm going full time open loop and doing away with it altogether

Cheers Tony, Well to be honest I've Knackered two in less than 6 months in the stock location due to launch control etc etc.

One of them was bent when it came out & I think this one is on it's way out as the closed loop Idle is a little Unstable like last time.

Will do some checks on the data tomorrow to Clarify my initial thoughts as the fuel consumption is worse than normal aswell.

Maybe consider having it running full time open loop , no need for one at all then

It's in the exhaust manifold on an early car, Rob.
