Default o2 sensor location?

i have an 98 civic DX coupe with a set of DC headers. because the headers dont have a cat in them like the factory dose the cat is now located under the car like it is on the 99 si. the factor set up has a o2 sensor in front of the cat and one right after the cat dose it need to be set up the same, or dose the second o2 sensor now go before the cat?

i wouldnt ever use butt connectors, wire taps always solder and heat shrink your connections.
