I'm thinking you really have no clue what you would be searching for. Look for AEM or Innovate widebands. Look to spend about $200.

Yea widebands aren't check, but help out with you knowing if you have the right AFR. I just bought a brand new AEM one last week and it was 170, nothing cheap about widebands.

Yep thats what you would need if you decided its necessary that you need one. Just to save you some money, they have AEM wideband kits on ebay just like that one for 170 instead of buying it straight from AEM website.

DC4LsTeg: obviously i wanna learn. I am no where near a honda person. I have a 2001 ws6 trans am and a 97 audi a4 quattro. Import is a new thing for me. so please instead of trolling like you did in your previous statement please just use your words to maybe say unbolt from exhaust or take off from ____ not trying to start anything just trying to be honest.

If your not planing on tuning the car, or you don't have a chipped ecu a wide band is next to useless. You just get to watch it go lean or rich but cant do anything about it but cheap tricks like adjusting fuel pressure.

The only reason you need a wideband sensor is if you plan to tune the car.

Installing an AEM wideband: http://www.schnitzracing.com/manuals/AEMWBK.pdf

You will need to get a bung welded into your exhaust for the sensor. Other than that, the instructions above explain the wiring.

And yes, if you want to do any tuning on your own, you'll need a wideband. Datalogging is also reccomended.

Widebands are good for any performance application where the ecu has been tunes/altered from its factory state, It is there to make sure yourself or your tuner has all the fueling in line and you are acheiving your targeted afr's
I recomend a non permanent application for yourself due to the variety of vehicles you own/drive. Innovate LM-2 can be moved from vehicle to vehicle, Innovate LC-1 is a permanent install per 1 vehicle application, as is the AEM uego, which I like also minus it looks like a f$%#en christmas reef.

The AEM isn't really permanent. I can remove this and use it on another car if I chose to.
