O2 sensor location

I was wondering how high in a header collector does an O2 sensor have to be mounted to get the recommended 600F of temp it needs to work.

Sensor starts working at 600F. Exhaust exits port around 1200 to 1400F. Depending on wrapping or coatings, a header may cool the exhaust down more or less than a manofold. Just put it in the collector if you can, or after if you have to. All O2 sensors have to wait until the exhaust system is hot enough to keep the exhaust hot before they work.
