Default QTP Ypipe vs. SLP subframe connectors...clearence?

I am getting SLP bolt on subframe connectors which I will later weld on. I am also doing QTP headers and ORY. What kind of clearence problems between the ypipe and the sfcs will I have?

I have access to a fabrication shop and I can make any changes I need. From what I have seen in pics online, the passenger side will be ok but maybe the driver's side needs some modification...???

The parts are in the mail so I just want some heads up before they get here.

Thanks,
Mike

I had a little clearance problems but with a seven pound hammer and a bar for leverage, I was able to get a least a 1/2" clearance.

I have the QTP Catted Y and SLP bolt on SFC's.

Everything fit except the driver's side piece that connects onto the head collector. It would not connect and still miss the SFC. I just had my local muffler shop mandrel bend a new piece that would fit perfectly.
