Default Can anyone post a pic of their relocated o2's on their piggie pipes?

I'm trying to get an idea of where the guys at VAST relocate the downstream o2's on the piggie pipes, as my mechanic says he can do it, but wanted to know the location they use to prevent a code. I can't tell from the pictures on their website. Can anyone provide me with a pic to help me out?
Thanks,
Jeremy

vast piggies come with the predrilled bung and one lower ... your mechanic should not have to drill or relocate anything you just twist it in the bung vast already drilled for you??

I'm actually asking because my mechanic said he could gut the precats for me instead of shipping out my pipes to Vast. Vast doesn't have any pipes for my car in stock, or I would've had them just ship them out first.
The shop has gutted precats before on other customers' cars before and avoided CEL's using APR software rather than relocating the O2's.
I was just wondering if there were another reason for relocating the O2's rather than just avoiding the CEL.

That is one option or just drive around with straight pipes for 2-3 days? I went the route of saving 250 dollars by getting them done by my tech. i have zero issues with the code and payed less than half the price!!! Gl and Id honestly juts go with the reflash of the ECU to take the code off. OH if you do this I believe if you have any current program it will no longer be on there .

So do you have pics or could you take some of the new 02 location for me?
Did you ever get all those stalling and erratic power issues figured out, by the way?

I can't take pics now it is to dark. Will try tomorrow. I personally go win vast. They hav the experience and no need for extra software. They ll also fix whatever's needed like flanges
Ship them your cores ona scheduled monday and you'll have your iggies back by the week-end for install. I did that. No regrets. How much are they these days? Used to be 345$.
