Headers ain't a fittin'

[TLoz]

I've installed a set of Jegs headers on my suburban. It's a 454, 4wd. I've got two issues. The right header collector is around 1/8" from the front drive shaft. The second issue (less than the first) the best fit I can get the exhaust pipe to fit between the frame and x-case support arm is 1/4". I figure that this is okay since the pipe is going to move with the x-case. I've got a heat shield that goes between the pipe and fuel lines. I still need to cut and align the pipe exit straight out the rear. Pictures are attached. Thoughts? Maybe heat up the headers and bend away from the drive shaft? By the way, the shaft isn't pink-that's red overspray. Thanks, Tom
