IQ 800 twin Pipe fittment?

[instigator]

I recently purchased some twin pipes for my 09 D8. After installation I'm finding the pipes hitting the hood in a couple of locations.
One spot is the plastic inner housing/plenum that covers the head light area under the hood. The other place in the right hood vent but I believe SLP recommends trimming the vent area (however; it still looks like it would hit after being trimmed).

My main concern is the inner housing that covers the headlights. What have others done to improve the under hood fitment of the pipes???

Thanks

I'm assuming that you notched the bulkhead as laid out in the instructions?

Snow_JW on these forums has some good insight into this as well.

Yep, notched the bulk head - pipes aren't touching this area. Anyone else having fitment issues?
