Z06 manifold swap question

I just swapped full Z06 exhaust on my 07 base car, but I had a questions regarding the front o2 sensor relocation. I just moved the wires out of the way with some wire conduit for now until I get a good way to make them not touch the manifold. Where did everyone else move their wires to?

Took it out of the harness and retaped and ran it down the back side of the head, no problems at all.

So you just ran it down the back of the head with electrical tape? Does it touch the exhaust manifold?

I tried to take some pics, but there isn't enough natural light to get a good one.
I used heat protective tape from heat shield products, which matches what's down in that area from the factory. I used the hole in the frame right near the O2 sensors to snap it in, and it looks like that's the way it came.

Take it out of the harness and retape the harness. Take the 02 lead and tape it up and cover it to protect the wires and run it straight down the back side of the heads, both sides. It will reach just fine, like it was made for it, and you'll never see it.
