Would it be OK to put an exhaust cut out before the first O2 sensor off the down-pipe? Or would I need to re-mount the O2 sensor before the cutout. I dont really have any room to mount the cutout anywhere else. I plan to use it at the track, I imagine I would get a "code" if I had the cutout open under normal driving..

Any help would be great..

Set up:
96 Acura Integra
18G Greddy Trubo Kit w/ blue box

I think your setup is okay as long as your car is in open loop (WOT) when the e-cut is open. When you are at open loop (WOT), the factory ecu doesn't need the 02 sensor feedback. However, if you cruise with the e-cut open, your (factory) ecu can not detect the correct a/f, and it will throw a code and your car will run like crap.
