Default Which test pipes dont angle the O2 sensor down?

Right now I have topspeed resonated test pipes and the O2 sensor out of the pipes angle more down towards to ground rather than horizontal. This normally wouldnt be a problem, but I have the non-foulers that space them out even more. My car is really low and right now the drivers side sensor is the low point on my car - I really dont want to hit something there and take out an O2 sensor and/or the test pipe bung.

So this brings me to my question - what test pipes have a better bung outlet design? Something that exits more horizontal rather than angling down? Or what pipes are confirmed to angle down - so I can avoid them?

my Helix pipes look VERY close to the stock position...
It may be a bit off, but no-where near what you have..

The Helix plug points towards the mounting brace. Not sure if that is up or down.

I was thinking helix, but these pics make me think otherwise - look very similar to what I already have - too angled:

Default Mine point down on the driver side too.

I also noticed that the driver side points down. I can't understand why any of the manfacturers design them this way.

I am searching now but have not found anybody actually reporting that they have broke their sensor yet. Anyone find one of these nasty reports?
