Right, I understood your first comment.  

I just doubted if the exhaust was still hot enough by the time the cylinders 
were merged. That's about 3-4' from the heads, and I thought that most cars 
with oxygen sensors had them within a foot or so.   

I know that any part of the muffler will get hot enough to burn me, but I think 
the oxygen sensor has to be at something like 800-1000F to work properly.
