Threaded o2 sensor?

[johnathan1]

I just put on my 3-inch downpipe...but I had to have a flange for the stock o2 sensor welded on to it...

Well, the muffler shop that I took it to (despite their good reputation) did a shitty job, and the flange cracked as the nuts were being tightened...:nono:

Luckily, the flange has threads in the center, meaning I can use a threaded type o2 sensor w/out problems,instead of taking the dp off and taking it back to the shop for the third time...

I remember reading a while back, that the Mustang sensor from Autozone will work? So which threaded o2 sensor will fit and work correctly?

Does anyone know? I need to fix this tomorrow.

hmm, why not smoothen out the inside of where they put a bung or w/e?

 

[johnathan1]

Could you please clarify?

 

[Mr.PFloyd]

ok i reread your post after about 20 times and i found that the cracked the flange heh. perhaps you could use a bolt/nut combo with longer bolts and by putting your nuts through the downpipe. iunno thats just me but thats what i would do w/some loctite and everything would be fine no?

 

[johnathan1]

There isn't any way of saving the flange, unless I have them weld the flange back together...

When I take it apart, i will get pics, so you can see what I mean...

 

[Mr.PFloyd]

alright then. ill try to find you that page for the threaded o2 sensor.
edit bro,

Any universal 3-wire bosch sensor will work (as a threaded -- not for stock fitment). You should be paying around $25-$35 for one that is universal. A little more for one that is intended for an application (with a plug on the end of the wires)
