FAQs

Do I need to weld this myself?

Yes, this is a weld-on bung. Professional welding is required for proper installation and to prevent exhaust leaks.

What size is the thread for the Lambda sensor?

The bung has a standard M18 x 1.5 female thread, compatible with most common Lambda (oxygen) sensors.

Can I use this with any exhaust system?

Yes, it is a universal kit designed to be welded onto most metal exhaust systems.

What is the purpose of the included plug?

The plug allows you to seal the bung when a Lambda sensor is not installed, preventing exhaust leaks and maintaining system integrity.

How deep is the bung?

The bung is 1 inch (25.4 mm) tall (deep).

Is the Lambda sensor included in the kit?

No, this kit only includes the extended bung and the removal plug. The Lambda sensor must be purchased separately.

What material is the bung made of?

The bung is made from durable stainless steel.

Troubleshooting

Exhaust leak from the bung.

The bung was not welded properly. It may need to be re-welded by a professional, ensuring a complete seal.

Lambda sensor does not thread in correctly.

Ensure you are using an M18 x 1.5 sensor. Check the threads on both the sensor and the bung for damage or debris and clean if necessary.

Difficulty installing sensor due to space constraints.

The extended design of this bung should help, but verify the sensor and its wiring connector will fit post-installation. Relocate the bung if necessary.

Plug does not create a tight seal.

Ensure the plug threads are clean and undamaged. Tighten the plug securely. If leaks persist, inspect the plug and bung threads.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Determine the optimal location on the exhaust system for welding the bung, ensuring adequate clearance for the sensor and its wiring.
  2. Clean the welding area thoroughly.
  3. Professionally weld the bung onto the exhaust pipe. Ensure a complete and leak-free seal.
  4. Once the weld has cooled, thread the Lambda sensor into the bung.
  5. If the sensor needs to be removed, thread the included plug into the bung for a sealed fit.

Compatibility:

  • Thread Size: M18 x 1.5 female thread, compatible with most standard Lambda (oxygen) sensors.
