2006 Chevy Corvette

The only thing preventing Innovate's LC-1 from being a true bolt-in product is the need to weld the O2 sensor's bung into the exhaust. The best location for the sensor is before the catalytic converter, as catalysts will throw off the air-fuel ratio reading slightly -you can see we're putting ours in the cat housing, as the Corvette's cast-iron manifolds mean there is nowhere else a bung can be welded upstream. And no, we're not welding a drill bit into the bung here; it's just making sure the bung stays centered over the hole we've drilled (do NOT weld the bung with the sensitive 02 installed into it!).
