Default People with dynatech/FLP headers HELP!!!

I had my dynatech headers installed awhile back and didn't have too much clearance issues,but when i went to go get a oil change the person could not take the oil drain plug off the pan. there was about maybe 1/2" or an inch hitting the driver's side headers,so what is the easy way to take that off or do i have to un bolt or dremel it to take it off. Also after taking it off is there a shorter drain plug? If there is a shorter bolt is there a store where i could get one? PLEASE HELP!!!!

I had the dynatechs and my cousin had the flps. I changed the oil on both cars and they were exactly the same. The drain bolt will hit the header primary tube, but if you **** it down a little it comes out.

I had FLPs and mine came out fine too. Have you tried yourself to get it out or are you just going off what this guy said? He probably was using air tools & that's why he couldn't do it. A good ole wrench should do the trick

I didn't try it myself,but when i was at the oil change place the guy probably didn't really made any effort to try. I will try prying it somehow,but do they sell a shorter plug? if so, where?
