I have recently installed two sets of Wilkinson's stainless exhaust and was able to get them into the cars without massaging the header tubes. Instead I used an air file to slightly shave the motor mount and also slightly relocated gas tank shroud. Wilkinson said the he header tube should not touch the shroud and that the smallest of gaps is sufficient.
