Personally, I would prefer to keep the dual O2 setup, whether using NB or WB O2's.
The benefit will come with troubleshooting and datalogging.

I am not sure on the MS, but with the tweecer most folks leave the stock O2's, and add in a WB sensor.

Personally, I will be using 2 LC-1 WB's in place of the factory sensors. I don't see a reason to keep the stock O2's.

I'm going to be using both my stock narrow band sensors for everyday running of my car, but my tuning will be done with my wideband. the MS can read from both sensors

So you plan on pulling the WB when done tuning and reinstalling for tuning later?
just curious.

The MS keeps sounding better and better...

I can leave it plugged in if I want to. but the WB I have has a 12" lead with a plug, which is connected under my car, so yes, I can unplug it and install the plug in the bung that came with my wideband

So I'm still confused. What would I be better off doing? I'm not sure if I want to make a hole and then weld in my exhaust. Should I run just one wideband sensor and cover up the other one? Or run two wideband sensors (not sure how I'd do this)? Or if I have to run both of the narrowbands and an extra wideband? Or could I even run one narrowband and one wideband? Im sorry if I keep repeating my self, I just want a for sure answer.

leave your narrow band sensors where they are, and drill another hole for a wideband.
