Default Wideband 02 Sensor, where to install and route with headers?

I have an LC-1 Wideband that I used to simulate the primary 02 sensor on the passenger side when I ran stock manifolds. I have recently installed long tubes and would like to put a wideband in to properly tune it. Does anyone have any pictures, know of a write up or can offer some advice in where in the long tubes is a good spot to drill and weld the 02 bung as well as how you routed the wires inside the car? I don't need to keep the WB installed since I have the narrowband back into place. I just need to install it for tuning only.

i put a bung on the drivers side just past the manifold connection, wires can go up near the clutch master mount on the firewall, but its tight

I deleted the rear 02 sensors in the PCM and put my fronts in the rear location allowing me to install the wideband in the front location(s) of the headers.

I had it installed right after the first 02 bung in the header, I leave mine in full time.

Did this several years back but it still works perfectly. I had to replace the sensor and reroute the wiring once when it loosened up and melted when it touched the header. I now have it secured nicely with 1200 deg. F shielding on the cable.
