mine is in the down pipe and it works good you just have to remember that temps can drop a couple hundred degrees from the manifold.
manifold is definately better but down pipe is alot better than nothing.
i plan on putting mine in the manifold if i ever end up taking it off, for now the down pipe works.

you dont have to weld a nut... just drill and tap the hole.... this is the way everyone does it and i have never heard of any problem ...

dont let them convince you that you need a nut welded...

I wasn't sure if the manifold was strong enough to keep a probe from rattling out
