Oil dipstick with Turbo headers?

I been searching for what guys with up and forward turbo headers use for oil dipsticks and i'm coming up with nothing. Lokar's seem to be very short and suppost to have a big end that does not fit the LSX blocks with out grinding. So what is everyone using???

Run the lockar it will be out of the way or take the stock and bend it around what you need to. Shouldn't be hard

Like I said the Lokar needs allot of grinding to fit the lsx block which I don't plan on doing on a $100 dipstick. I don't mind using a stock stick just like to see where it comes out.

Match a factory dipstick to your pan. Bend it to fit your application. MAP gas torch in the bend area helps. Just don't get too carried away with tight bends.

I have a custom made pan that holds 7qts so i would probably have to remark what ever I use unless it's close which it should be I filled the sump up to the pan slope and that was full with 7qts I guess most pans fill to that point also.
