Default Problem with my Pypes H pipe.

So I decided to do the DIY MIL eliminators and extensions on the rear O2s that go into the mid pipe.
Got that done.
Now its time to install them. So I'm under the car, and I realize that the O2 bungs on the H are at, say, a 45 degree angle, pointed toward the ground. Now I figure by the time I get these sensors put in, that after one good bump, they'll be history.
I start yanking the H pipe out, and now I'm kinda puzzled cause it only goes one way with the headers, correct?

Any opinions?

I haven't seen any replies, so I'll give my 2 cents... try switching the 2 parts of the h pipe so it angles towards the car, unless this is impossible.. Thats just an idea

Well that was my plan. I just got out from underneath the car and realized that the headers are staggered. So one is longer than the other, therefore the H pipe was in right, I think they just welded the bungs in like a buncha idiots.

Time for a prochamber.

Yep.

Like I said, the 2 in the H pipe are sticking towards the ground...

Ok, and in my original post i said:

So I decided to do the DIY MIL eliminators and extensions on the rear O2s that go into the mid pipe.
I'm looking to get rid of my Predator. With the Predator I have the rear O2s turned off. I did the MIL and extension job in order to ditch the Predator... Hopefully I can get it figured out and it works.
