Problem with DC Sports header

[3cyltrbo]

Its hard to see in the photos, but because of the location of the O2 sensor bung on the DC sports header, the backside of one of the bolts attaching the header to the downpipe is going to contact the O2 Sensor.

I've attached two photos.

1 is unedited (to show the original)

1 is edited with Green and Red circles to show the following.

The bolt holding the downpipe to the header (circled green) is almost fully seated and not hitting anything.

The other bolt (circled red) is just sitting there in its hole, but if I thread it even 2 or 3 turns its going to be pushing on the O2 sensor (not good)

If I tighten the bolt (circled Red) all the way like its supposed to be, it will certainly make a huge impact into the O2 sensor

Anyone else run into this?

After struggling for quite sometime to get the old header off / replace the factory header hardware with the ARP stuff (also from Microimage) I'm kinda at a loss as to how to proceed.
