No eBay special. The EGT port is stock on the equal length header (which has a built in up-pipe, all one piece. See picture). It looks like the probe is welded to an adapter which is then threaded into the header. The pictures dont show it well. Either way, I know it looks hokey, but there are no leaks. I guess the welds are just there to keep it from backing out.

After I got off here last night I found a very helpful section in the manual that also said the single wire was for a "security horn". Im just a little confused however because I have the factory alarm, and it works. Im guessing there was an additional horn to the stock one that used to go there and would sound as well when the alarm was activated? Someone mentioned its commonly removed when a strut bar is installed, and that would make sense seeing as I have one. My VW had a horn in almost the same spot in addition to the stock one, and both would sound when the alarm was going off.

Well, sounds like another mystery solved. Thanks for the input. I will be cutting the exposed wire off and heat shrinking to prevent "shorts" and clean it up. I also found I have the rear O2 sensor is in fact further back in the exhaust. So, the "front" sensor is in the up-pipe, and the "rear" is after the downpipe.

What would the benefits be to the resistor in the EGT probe area? Anything?
