I use about the same shimming (5 millimeter each side) and gave the header a
smack with the hammer. It's not so bad, if you hit it on the oblique side of
the collector you're not obstructing the flow since there is a lot of
cross-section area there. On a left hand drive car, the engine will tilt
away from the pinion anayway. I guess the only alternative is to use the RV8
style headers running through the fenders.
