Default Routing O2 sensor wire?

I just got done with my Hedman Hedders install on my car. The only problem I'm having is that the driver's side has the O2 sensor bung on the outside, instead of pointing toward the tranny. So there's really no way to run it without at some point crossing the headers. Anybody have any good ideas? I got the Bosch 13111 for that side. Had an extension for the other side.

Also, if I need to replace the other O2 sensor that I have an extension on, can I put my old rear sensor in its place?

If you have a M6 wire tie it to the slave cylinder line. I've never got a good look under an A4. Just try to keep the wires away from the headers.

It's ok to put the rear sensors in the front. All four O2 sensors are the same even if they have different part numbers.

Okay, I got it ran, but I don't like it. I think I'll go to the exhaust shop and have them put a bung on the inside of the headers so I can run it straight to the plug. Oh, and yes, it's an M6. I wouldn't lower myself to an auto. LOL!

you should be able to run it along the slave cylinder line as stated thats where mine is,but i did lower my self to an turbo400 with a trans brake so there is no slave cylinder line lots of room.wanna race at my lowered level.

LOL! Yeah it was a joke, Roarin_8. Krazy K got it I think. I was teasing. Everyone knows autos are better for the strip. I just am stupid and like the fun of an M6.
