I've heard people dent the passenger side tube in but not as bad as mine. I'm running the fbody hooker headers. I had a muffler shop fab up an x-pipe off the angled collectors. There are some pics in my sig on how I modded the pass side header.

After seeing people bend the crap out of theirs to make them fit, I tried another approach. Go about 3/4" out from the flange and make a pie cut on all four primaries (not much maybe a little more than 1/16 no more than 1/8") then bolt the header on and bend it in. Tack it where you want it then remove it and finish weld it. 1/8" at the top is about 1-1 1/2" movement at the collector. I dont have any pics since my car is apart right now but I have about 3/4" clearance at the framerail. I also piecut the collector to make it exit under the hump in my x-member.
