They are in the exhaust system/pipe. Just start at the engine and follow the exhaust back to the muffler and you will see them. They are about 3 inches long with a electric wire hooked to them. They just screew out. I believe ther is 3 of them but there might be 4. just look at the exhaust pipe real good. On the 8.1 engine, two are located ahead of the catalytic converters in the exhaust headers and two in the tail pipes after the catalytic converters.

Catalytic converters are designed to last around 10 to 15 years or about 100,000 to 150,000 miles under normal driving conditions. However, their lifespan can be affected by factors such as engine performance, fuel quality, and maintenance practices. Regular vehicle maintenance and addressing engine issues promptly can help prolong the life of a catalytic converter. If you notice any signs of poor performance or a check engine light, it's important to have it inspected.
In Texas, straight pipes are generally not legal for street use if they bypass or eliminate the factory-installed catalytic converters. While having a catalytic converter is required for compliance with emissions standards, straight pipes can violate noise ordinances and emissions regulations. It's essential to check local laws and regulations, as they can vary by county and city. Always consult with local authorities or a qualified mechanic for specific legal advice.
