The Exhaust Pipe has a catalytic converter and an O2 sensor, right?

Same question: The Exhaust Pipe has a catalytic converter and an O2 sensor, right?

I just want to make sure, because I need to order a new exhaust pipe because my current one is now totally broken off the muffler (right before the part where they bolt together).

If anyone has any tips I'd appreciate it.

What year do you have? In the '95-'96s, the O2 sensor is in the cat. In the '97-'99s, the O2 sensor is after the cat in the b-pipe.

I have a 97, so I guess the O2 is in the B-pipe.

Thanks, time to go order it.

The O2 is actually in the S-pipe, IIRC (for those vehicles with an S-pipe).

I looked at it again today (took off the muffler, it wasn't doing anything anyway), and the O2 is right before the next long pipe, its on this little pipe right after the Cat.

I think that's what you were saying, all I know is that when ordering a pipe all I need is the one with the resonator (I think that's what it's called), which is the same one that comes right before the muffler.

That's the b-pipe. Don't go OEM, an aftermarket OEM replacement like Walker would work just as well, but a hell of a lot cheaper.

That or now's the time to get an aftermarket exhaust system, if you had planned on it.
