Any advice on o2 sensor routing after headers
Well I finally got my AR headers installed on the Z 
. I was wondering if there are any tips or tricks on how to best secure the wires well away from the headers. I have some zip ties now, but dont really have anyhting to secure them to. Are people drilling holes or using some type of fastener? Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

I am running the QTP's and some of the plugs fit back into the frame clips. Those that didn't I tie wrapped to heavy cable bundles on the frame. The biggest problem is getting your hands in there, at least mine are too big

Well I use zip ties to secure the wirres around the header tubes... on the passenger side you can use the starter, the oil level sensor, and various other wires. On the driv'ers sid I used other wires and hte factory mount locations to keep it all out of the way. FWIW I have kooks that still use all 4 sensors in the factoyr locations. Past the header tubes the wires slip in behind the tunnel heat shields in the factory locations.

I installed a heavy-duty Aluminum tunnel plate at the same time. LG drilled two holes in it, at the same location as the front and rear (hi-flow cats installed) O2 sensors, and the wires were routed above the plate and through the holes to the sensors.

Here is a pic of our plate...
