RB exhaust w/ 02 sensor

Does anyone know if RB will weld in an exhaust bung for an O2 sensor for a full exhaust system or not? I'm finally gonna take the leap (unless someone's selling one) and REALLY want to add an 02 sensor before I bolt her up. Any suggestions? Is RB low-production enough that they'd be willing to do it?

It might be more cost effective if you or a local shop does the welding. If that set up, RB plus an O2 sensor, was possible, then it probably would be on the market.

E-mail mazdatrix or racing beat, you will probably get further along.

are you going to run the single exahust system or the dual one? if you get the dual one you'll need one for each rotor

Why would there be a problem with it? Wouldn't it make carb tuning a hell of a lot easier to have an O2 sensor in there? From what I understand, you weld a bung, thread it in, wire it up and watch the pretty lights. Seems like it would be a pretty valuable tuning tool.

Single collector just before the presilencer - probably put the sensor right between the two primaries or on the presilencer body.

Its $32.50 plus tax at my local muffler shop for that. Seems cheap enough to do later.
