Long Tube Header Problem

I have a set of FlowTech's LT's on my truck. Flowtech part number BIG-12504FLT. They hit my trans pan. I was able to cut part of the flange on the collector so it isnt rubbing the pan. But today I went to my old school to see if we could heat up the 4 tubes and bend the header away from the trans. We couldnt get all 4 to be hot enough. I could get 3 of then red but I could never get the back, and the other torch was broken. So that was a bust. I guess my question is out of the people that have LT's what brands do you have and do yours hit like mine? Seeing Christmas is comming maybe I can milk them out of my family and friends. Thanks. Truck is the one in my sig.
