Where is the best place to mount a EGT probe on 4-1 headers? I have triad headers with a triad muffler.

Somewhere after the 4-1 collector, following the instruction for placement that came with your probe (usually somewhere between 1 and 3 o-clock on the pipe).

That would be correct for an O2 sensor.

Best place for EGT is about 4-6" past the valve head but any place before the first bend on a T4 exhaust will work just fine.
Some people go to the trouble of mounting them in the stub pipes.
