02 Sensors.....

People who have the random tech cat.....how did you face the O2 sensor? Right now I have my cat upside down, with the skid plate facing up, so the O2 sensor will reach the hole. It is in the same area it was on the stock cat, just it sticks down further so clearance may become an issue, plus there is not a skid plate that covers it from flying debris. Can you buy an O2 sensor with longer wiring so I can turn the cat the way it is suppose to be and have the O2 sensor facing up and out of the way? Thanks for any info.

It shouldn't be a big problem the way you have it... The heat shield is just in case you park over some combustable stuff like dry grass, etc... Just watch where you park.

Here is a pic of the cat correctly installed on a 96 with no problems.
