HELP What headers for...

angled plug heads? When I installed my engine the Hooker Comps I had bought for it hit the tranny bellhousing on the passenger side, so I had to use the stock angly dumps, and they are choking my engine. I need to find some decent headers that will clear the th350 and the 700r4 when I install it. This is such a pain in the butt. If I knew it was this hard to find headers to fit these heads I would have bought straight plug heads. Has anyone else ever had trouble fitting their Hooker Comps because of tranny clearance issues, or where mine just possibly bent in shipping? Thanks for your help guys.

My Comps have lots of clearance both when I had the stick in it and now with the TH350. The Supers exit about 2 inches shorter than the Comps do.
