secondary O2 sensor relocation
Okay, so I bought a car off someone who had a custom header made, and combined with the test pipe and Megan exhaust that was installed has the secondary O2 sensor pointing straight down at the ground.
Combine this with some lowering, tracking the car (and I really like using the kerbs, and occasionally more
, and I have a recipe for disaster. The secondary sensor has already scraped several times, and may be the source of a short that made my charging system go all wonky.
In the short term, I don't need this so it's not big deal, I can just cap it. Longer term, I'd like to turn it 90 degrees (like an elbow) to get it out of harm's way and try to work on getting it to not throw a CEL (so when I see a CEL I know there's something else up).
So anybody have some clever ideas, preferably that don't involve taking my test pipe to a shop and have them braze in an elbow. That's a no-brainer, but I'd prefer things I can do, and undo myself in my own garage.
