help with header install

[sbr420a]

so i am installing headers on my stang and i am running in to a problem. the o2 sensor on my h pipe is hitting the starter housing and it wont allow the pipe to flex anymore so i can bolt it up tight. they are fox style shorty headers any info would be helpful

not sure about anything with fox headers. but if worse come to worst you can plug up the O2 sensor holes that are there then take the h pipe to an exhaust shop and have new O2 threaded inserts welded in. I paid 30 buck to have two threaded inserts welded into my downpipe

fox and 94-95 headers are shaped diffrent due to body styles and will cause a snafu
