what does it SAY on it. that autometer its a TRUE wideband. Autometer just came out with those, I would have gotten it if they were out at the time I bought my AEM. No narrowband will be under 250bucks.

It's a wideband. If it has an exact A/F Ratio (like it's showing... 14.7 in that pic)... then it's wideband. Narrowband only offers a rough estimate of lean, rich, or stoich.

it reads your air fuel and its very accurate, People use it along with HP tuners to tune their air fuel ratio.

You definitely want it before the cat. The purpose of an AFR meter is to meter the exhaust gas directly out of the motor to determine how rich/lean the motor is running so you can adjust the AFR and keep the motor running in the proper range. If you change the exhaust gas before metering it, then you don't have an accurate reading.
