exhaust

I installed my new headers the other day and I noticed that my shifting linkage on the side of the trans looks like it's going to be in the way of installing the exhaust. Just wordering if anyone has ever had the same problem and what should i do?

My is close, but the muffler shop bent the pipe to give clearance.

What brand headers did you install?
