Best location for wideband o2?

I bought myself a wideband so I can keep tabs when I install the SSIM and BBMAF. I had thought about removing the cat and putting the bung on the straight pipe part of the cat, but after getting under the car I noticed there is no room if I am going to keep the sensor at 10-2 o'clock position. I could remove a chunk of my heat shield and weld in at 12 o'clock, but not sure how I feel about that. Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a location which does not involve removal of the cattman headers or y-pipe. Best position I can see that will fit would be 9 o'clock about 3 inches in front of the cat on the drivers side of the car.

Thats where I put mine. Best location would be past where the Y in the y-pipe comes together, but before the Cat.

I know it is not the optimum location, but 9 o'clock is the best I can do without paying someone to remove the y-pipe.
