Default Oxygen Sensor Help / Header Install

I want to make sure I have the oxygen sensors in correctly on my 2001 C5. I just installed my AR Headers and I know sometimes people install them and hook the pigtail up into the harness and if they aren't routed a certain way then you will have some issues. Does anyone have a diagram or picture handy?

Thanks.

Make sure that the front sensor that's screwed into the left header is plugged into the left hand harness connector, and the right front sensor into the right hand connector. The sensor wires form an "X" underneath, so its easy to screw up. Other than that, just make sure the wires are routed away from the hot pipes, especially the cats, if you're running them.

I do not have a picture but zip ties work great to keep the wires up off the exhaust.
