If you're running ALS, then for sure, but Innovate suggest 18". In my opinion, it can be further down the exhaust with no real ill-effect. That is until you get close to the end of the exhaust where you might take air in which could affect the readings. Of course the further down the exhaust it is, the more joins and potential leakage points you have, so if you have to make sure those are good.

Isn't there lag the further down the exhaust you go?
Mine is where it is becuase I'm lazy. Its in the standard narrow band location emulating a narrow band to the ECU for close loop opperation.

Yes there is lag if its further back, but on full throttle its tiny as you are shifting such massive volumes of air.
I often use a tailpipe probe, and even then the lag is very minimal, but on idle you can get lean readings due to the wind blowing up the exhaust! (not an issue when flat out)
Plus leaks in the exhaust can draw in air and lean the reading too.
At least the errors result in your thinking its leaner than it is not vice versa though, so not the end of the world!

The narrow band one though Ive got just a few inches from the turbo to increase the heat as they work better that way.
