Default Catalytic converter where?? jdm d15b vtec 1997

where does the catalytic converter attach to? do i have to custom add it onto the tail pipe? or replace the ex manifold?
i need to pass emissions! someone help!

i have a 1997 ek hatchback bought new tail pipes for it because the guy had a welded straight pipe in the end.

the o2 should be right on top of the exhaust headers and one right at the elbow pipe
