Default O2 sensor routing w/ Kooks

Installed my 1 3/4" Kooks longtubes yesterday(PITA!!! ) but now that they're bolted up I'm trying to figure out how to route the passenger-side O2 sensor wiring so that it doesn't burn on the header. Anyone have a picture or able to take a picture for me? Thanks!

I agree with you on installing Kooks headers.(pita) Its worth it though. On my "02 6spd, I reinstalled all o2 sensors and wiring as they were. I removed a few of those plastic holding clips. On the passenger side I fabricated an "S" shaped hook out of some heavy 1/8" wire and attached to lip on wheelwell to hold wires away from headers.

Thanks for the post, I guess I should have specified... This is an off-road setup and I will only be utilizing the front o2 sensors. The bungs in the x-pipe have been plugged. Is it possible to post a picture of the s-hook you made/used? I think whatever I do I'm going to need to wrap the wiring in heat-shielding.
