Unbolt the tranny mount and tweak it over a little bit. Use a prybar or somthing and the motor mounts should flex enough so that you can gain a little clearance clarance. Just make sure you dont put the squeeze on anything.

Keep playing with it and it'll go

They were Jet Hots btw, had to take out the oil filter, and the thing above it, no idea what it was but it had 2 10mm bolts holding it on. K member was clearenced pretty well, and deburred. They look good now that they are in

The thing above the filter is the oil divertor.You should of just removed the filter amd divertor along with the steering arm without clearancing the K-member.If I bought a set of headers and had to clearance anything I'd send them back!
