Default Where's your X-Pipe?

I have LG's Pro offroad set up. While changing the oil today I realized that my X-Pipe is just after header collectors...The two inserts for replacing cats is behind the X-Pipe and in front of my Cat Back.

Is there a preferred location? Up front close to headers, or in the back just before the Cat Back? Thanks

Up close to the headers is preferred for HP, but usually the cats are there and the X pipe is installed after the cats.

I installed my own set of LG Pro LT's, and that's how mine are.

My X-pipe is AFTER the Hi Flow cats.
Headers, Cats, X-pipe in that order.
I did it that way so I install the rear O2 sensors in the x-pipe
