Default o2 sensors too low on test pipes

Does aynone else have this problem?
I just lowered my car, and with the non foulers on the o2 sensors, they hang too low. The problem is that the holes for the 02 sensors on the pipes exit angled, towards the ground instead of to the side.

The 02 sensors aren't too low without the non foulers, but the non foulers add over an inch to the length of the sensors and they will hit any speed bumps, etc that I come accross,

Please help!!

The hole for the oxygen sensor should be on the side of the pipe like above. If it isn't there is not much that you can do. Its a poor design. BTW who makes the test pipes?

Yeah, most of the cheaper test pipes have bad design. There isn't much you can do about it. I have the same problem. I've had mine like that for about a year, 15-20k miles already and no problems. Just go slow over bumps/dips and angle, you should be able to get away without scraping them or if so, barely. I left the OEM cat bracket up front on there even though it doesn't hold anything up anymore. It does sit infront of the O2's and would help shield it from any road debris.
