OK to move o2 sensor to downpipe?

[tsidrift1]

I just got a SSautochrome o2 housing.( YES I KNOW!!!!) I didnt have to drill any hole to make it fit, but my o2 sensor hits the water pipe bad. I read somewhere about a guy on here that said he was thinking about welding an o2 bung in the downpipe and just putting the bolt in place where the o2 sensor goes originally. Would that screw with the way the car runs? I would really hate to have to do a bunch of welding to get this stupid thing to work. I was a bit skeptical on buying one, but I read the thread on here and everyone that said they had got one, said it wasnt a bad buy.

let me know,
Anthony

There shouldn't be any ill effects to putting your O2 sensor on the downpipe.
