nope, craby's looks just like mine

Do you see how #1 pipe is higher and rides above #3 and # 5? Yours does not and there is your problem.

I'd hate to say it but you spent a ton of time to save $100 just to find out they are wrong.

Maybe they can be heated and bent? Who knows

that's simple to answer. toss a jack and block of wood under, pull out the bolt from each side and jack the motor up 1/4 inch - 1/2 inch. I don't think it will buy you anything.

I'm sorry but it looks like you need to reach into your wallet again and get some headers that fit
