Basically what I did was weld in a piece of steel behind that wall the header rubbs on and then cut that wall out completely, now there's tons of room

Sounds like us LPP guys all have this problem at the same time. Mine are resting against the lower motor mount too, sounds like the exact same spot as yours. What I'm thinking is the best thing to do will be to pull the header off and do a little custom work. Either grinding down the motor mount or putting a small dent in the pimary should work best I think. I didn't fix mine when I had it on a lift because we didn't want to pull it off, but I'll fix it pry this summer. Oh and some good news on mine, in the 2 weeks I've been driving it, the vibration has gotten better, but you still can notice it. Its not that bad now though, definately driveable with it. Keep us posted on what you do so I've got reference on what to do with mine haha.

Loosen the bolts then use a small floor jack to put a little pressure on the collector then retighten. Gave mine plenty of clearence. Hope that helps. Just for the record, mine went in like butter!
