Is this the o2 sensor? My de cat down pipe does not have a provision for it. Would like to know for sure it will not be needed.

What year is your car? Where was the sensor originaly, down the bottom or just behind the turbo?

If it was down the bottom then I would assume its an early car. This is the cat temp sensor, since there will be no cat in the new DP the sensor is no longer needed and can be removed.

If the sensor if just behind the turbo it will be the lambda sensor, and is needed.

Hope this helps.

Its just a normally open thermal switch, just unplug from the cars wiring loom and forget it.
