Placement is key because if you have your O2 sensor too close to the head it could get overheated and if you put it too far down the tailpipe then the condensate may shock the sensor. I would put it 18" to 30" from the head....even it's only reading 1 cylinder.

The bung on my longtubes is either right on the collector or just after it...but Im pretty sure its on the actuall collector itself. If the longtubes dont come with a bung already, ide just have the exhaust shop weld on onto the pipe that connects to it and be happy. Just make sure its located where the wires will reach.
