You can easily have someone put one in for you, but that is more money, and another chance of something going wrong, aka leaks. If you don't have a wideband bung, you need, I forget what it's called, let's call it a sniffer. You clamp it into your muffler and do your data logs. Driving around with a clamp in your exhaust doing triple digit speeds isnt the greatest of ideas. Therefore, headers without bungs are harder to tune remotely. On a dyno,there is no problem, as the car is static. If the header has a bung for the sensor, you screw it in and drive. Far less chances of it falling out or doing damage, that's why imo, if you are going to remote tune, find a header with a bung. Obviously, I'm no expert, though, so take what I say with a grain of salt.


Thank you for so much detail I appreciate it. Now I know what a wide band bung is. But good thing for me is that I have a tuner local to me who’s great with our cars and has tuned 6th gen FBO to well over 500Whp. He’ll be doing all the tuning in person.
