What I did is just cut the metal part (not the foam rubber stuff, but the vinyl-coated metal that actually holds the strip to the heat shield). I just cut a little bit up and it was a lot easier to fit the whole piece around the turn.

Yeah, go ahead. He 90 degree bend is tough. You will have to cut off about 3-4 inches at the end anyway. Just make sure you cover the whole edge... that padding keeps it from bumping other things in the engine.
