Most people put the O2 sensor in the collector of the sidepipe headers. It may bedifficult to get the correct recommended angle for the sensor but some guys claim it doesn't matter and it works ok if the sensor is horizontal or just below horizontal. The frame is what makes the sensor instal an issue in most situations.
