Default Sidepipes for Ls1

Putting an LS1 into my 77 and would like to switch to sidepipes. Are there any out there that have provisions for the engine sensors? I would like to install the sensors so I don't have to reprogram. Any ideas or guidance is welcome. Thanks

You will have to the smaller side exit headers with O2's in the collectors or install a tube in the frame to install the O2's through. I've seen a few with exposed O2's and the wires going through the grills, but not my cup of tea. There's a picture in one of the VB catalog of one.

I put my 0-2 bungs in sideways in my sidepipes towards the frame and cut notchs in the frame to clear,this way you can see the 02 sensors or wiring.
