I put mine on the top of the cat before the first baffle.

It needs to be in that area to get a good reading. After the cat will not be a true A/F reading.

You can either do before or after the cat. Unfortunately, doing it before the cat is almost impossible with the exhaust manifolds still on the car. You can do it after the cats if you want, the mixture will just read a bit leaner than before the cats.

Test pipe location is perfect. A shop will have to drill a hole, and weld in a bung for the new wideband sensor. Takes about 30-40mins.

With test pipes you will want to get non-fouler's so you don't get a CEL.

There is a thread with all the info:
