Does the rear o2 sensor need to be a certain distance from the catalytic converter?

Just wondering if it has to be a certain distance or if i can make the sensor closer to the converter.


Thanks,

Within a few inches is just fine.

alright thanks, so if i move it closer to the cat ill be okay? any downsides of moving it closer?

Well if you have it right on the ass end of the cat it might melt it from the heat inside the converter.

Thats why within a few inches is fine, 5in give or take.
