Default Wideband O2 Sensor

This goes out to all of you guys with wideband sensors. I see a wideband O2 sensor in my near future. My only concern is that the sensor won't fit. When I got my sidepipes from JetHot, they placed O2 sensor bungs in the collectors in the horizontal position (I know this isn't optimal, but that's where they are). There isn't much room between the bung and the frame. So my question is...what is the installation height of your sensor from the top of the bung to the wire? Please include sensor brand and model if you know it. Thanks.

The Bosch LSU is about 2.5 inches. Horizontal mounting should be OK. Maybe you should cap their bungs and install your own?
