Hey bud - If youre talking the sensor after the cat its the "cat on fire" sensor. The lambda sensor is under the engine on the exhaust manifold. If you de-catting then just tie the sensor in question out of the way in the engine bay! Same advice given to me when changed the downpipe - ALL GOOD!!

Top of the downpipepipe on a 1999/V5 sti is the lambada sensor- there is a white plug next to your gearbox dipstick that connects to it,if you do not fit it will lead to engine check light coming on.
