Default having trouble installing passenger side pacesetter

i boght some longtube pacesetter headers and i have the motor mount bolt out so i can jack the motor up and slide the header in but it gets stuck everytime its almost in. at the bottom a little above the collector the bottom of the tubes hit on the black piece which i think is the stock k member. what are some of the things to help get them in? i am trying to install them in from the top though so i might need to put them in from the bottom, i slid the driver side in through the top with no problem at all.

Thanks

I've put mine in the top and the bottom, no problems either way, if one way doesn't work, try the other!

Done this the other day. We took the motor mount bolt out and went as high as we could with the motor AND the car. Need some room on the bottom for some shimmying it around. After a little bit, got it in through the top.
