LT header clearance issue with the oil cooler?

I'm in the process of installing 1 3/4" Dougs LT headers (very similar to Hooker LT's). The drivers side header touches the oil cooler line. Has anyone else had this problem? Any help would be great.

you have to modify the oil cooler. read the hooker 2210 sticky these headers are exactly the same except for have thicker header flanges.
