    IIRC the Air/Fuel ratio gauge...

    the pigtail should be going to the/a 02 (oxygen) sensor.

    on the Grand Prix's there are 2 Oxygen sensors.

    1. Located directy on the rear header right before where she bolts to the downpipe. (sticks straight up, ontop of pipe) Right next to the rear spark plug towards the drivers side.

    2. Located back after the downpipe above the "U bend" adjacent to the catilayc convereter

    Which one would you prefer that it be plugged into? Or does it not
    matter? Thank you very much for the info!

    It needs to be plugged in to the one in the rear manifold.

    Enjoy the light show.

    You don't use a pig tail to install a wideband...

    Yes it is the wideband gauge! I was told that I needed this pigtail to install it so I am not splicing into factory wires incase I want to resell the car.

    If it's a wideband, you don't connect it to any existing sensors. You have to add your own. The stock sensors are narrow bands.

    is it possible to swap one of the nb out and put in a wb (but not hook it to harness, use a fake out sensor) and hook up to a gauge? but still leave the aft sensor still plugged up?

    taking out the front o2 sensor will make your car run like utter crap. have fun with that.

    you need to weld in another bung. do i need to go take a picture of my exhaust for you?

    you have to weld in the wideband sensor before the cat.

    the ubend is too far back.

    are these good? i think they would be pretty good, especially for the price. looks like they have the bungs welded in already too. probably be able to run the 3.25 pulley on these too.
