Does the O2 sensor go before or after the catalytic converter?

Hi,

Wow, I can't believe how difficult it is to find a pic of the sensor/exhaust. The only pic I was able to find shows it right after the Y pipe. See pic below.

Let me know if that helps. Also, there should be a location present on the exhaust. Are you replacing the exhaust system?

Let me know.

Take care,

Joe

You are very welcome. Looking at the pic above, it does appear that is the case.

Let me know if you have other questions. Also, feel free to come back any time in the future.

Take care,
