header touching the frame

My hp header w/cat is touching the frame of my car and causing it to rattle. Is there anyway i can do make it so my header won't touch the frame? Some people suggest me to use a crowbar and bent the header piping little bite back so it won't touch the frame. Is that a good idea? Has anyone did it before? Any idea?

bending a piece of pipe that is made ot let air flow bad idea is there any way to shotren the header or relocate the frame piece more work but better performance idea.

HP messed up the design for their header. You have to cut the motormount in order for the header to fit.
