Default Wideband after cat?

Just curious what kind of readings happen if you put your o2 after the cat on a wideband? I don't have any way of putting the sensor before the cat and i am wanting to put my injectors in and tune my vacuum columns while i am still waiting for my shorty and dp.

just dont put it on afterwards
defeats the whole purpose of the wideband

it will not read true air fuel readings

dont be cheap, get that to a muffler shop, have them weld u a bong for $25 and do it right

Hollow cats **** flow, if you do anything to the cat drive a piece of straight pipe through it. *ABOVE ALL* remember the platinum/rhodium lined innards of a catalytic converter are toxic; heavy metal poisoning is cumulative. However much you take into your body never leaves and after you take in a certain amount you get sick. Wash the inside of the cat with water to keep down dust, wear a mask, and empty the contents into a bagt you can close and dispose of responsibly.

Always make sure the exhaust gas is not exposed to any catalyst material, it "leans" out the AFR readings, rendering them garbage.
