"S" pipe for o2 sensor after y pipe

Ok so I installed my whole exhaust a about a month ago and might have put this pipe on backwards. Does anyone have pics of this pipe installed. Need to know if the o2 is directionally facing the flow (essentially being hit head on by exhaust flow) or it directioned away from the flow.

If you didn't understand that I guess what I'm meaning is the tip of the o2 facing the front of the car or is the tip facing towards the rear.

I have had it both ways and was told from a friend that he has never seen it facing head on with the flow...so I swapped it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Im not 100% positive but the direction doesn't matter that much. As long as its in the proper position then it will still read fine

The pipe slopes downward as it goes to the rear of the vehicle.

The original has a big end and little end. The larger opening is to the cat.
