Default 02 sensor problems...

I just got done installing my hooker headers and TSP catted Y Pipe and GMMG Exhaust it's pretty much all done but for the drivers side I cannot fit the 02 sensor up into the header. The heatshield and fuel lines are in the way, I mean I could squeeze it up but I really don't like to. Is there any type of short 02 sensor I could buy?

How do I resolve this problem?

Thanks,
Chris

I searched everywhere and cannot find a solution besides putting a bolt in the hole and drilling a new one... I can't believe no one has run into this....

Front o2? Remove the heat sheild. No ill effects on my car. I was trying to find a rattle and took mine off. Turned out not to be the rattle, but I never put them back...
