Hindle Exhaust/Oil Coolant lines

Had to do it with my hindle not with my Dand . Its even in the directions to bend the oil linehmm... Is it a problem with only the Hindel... or with all full exhaust systems
I had to bend mine ever so lightly and you won't get a whole lot of clearance, but I have had it running and seen no points of contact. So far so good.
You know I really don't understand this guys. When I purchased my full Micron exhaust, it came with a half-inch spacer for the oil cooler line to keep the header from touching the line. I figure all the engineering that goes into these exhausts for the perfect fit, and the cost associated with them, that there would at least be something to remedy this problem.
Now I know someone is gonna say... "Well, if you install it correctly, it won't be a problem." My reply to that is... "A full exhaust install is fairly straightforward. There is no rocket-science to it at all. Sure you can move the exhaust a little by rotating the midpipe, but exactly how much clearance will you get?" My point is is that to me Micron was on top of their shiiite when they designed their exhausts for the Busa. The spacer is made of half-inch aluminum stock and is shaped exactly like the diamond-head flange of the oil cooler. It basically looks as though it belongs there.
In closing, I would like to say that Micron is not the most expensive, and doesn't provide the most bang for the buck as far as horsepower is concerned, but their ease of install makes it #1 in my book...

i dont know man id rather have that extra 6-7 hp than a trouble free installYou know after I finally read what I posted I realize that my comments sound like a commercial...You know I really don't understand this guys.

You have to remember though the BDE has big tube tappered headers unlike your Micron so its going to be a tighter fit.You know I really don't understand this guys.
