Thanks for the search info guys!!

So I would bolt the sensors into the test pipe outlets, and steel wool is enough of a buffer/filter, that the sensor readings are gonna be seen by the computer as if the exhaust gasses had passed through cats? That sounds too easy. I would think you would need an electronic part in that loop for accurate readings to the CPU.
