The car comes with 2 O2 sensors. One before the cat used to control fueling, one after to let the robot know if the cat is going out. At least one should be before a catalytic converter.

ive always hated the headers that put the o2 sensor in 1 pipe....doesnt get a accurate reading that way
if it was me, i would put the first 1 where you have it circled in red, then put the second one after the cat
thats how i had mine ran, no CELs for over 3 years

i may try that instead of putting on snap on resistores to lower the reading to the ecu. i would just have too extended the first o2 cable and some how run it to the down pipe with out being in the way of the drive axle and have a bung welded to the down pipe
