What do you think?

Thanks Pete
I had this same problem with the same motor & pipe combo in my dm1 spec. What I did to fix it was take some of the bend out of the header pipe. After doing this you may find that the header now hits the rear upper hinge pin locator (maybe not with the pro version). If it is, its not that big of a deal it will melt the plastic (a little) and clearance itself. Or you could change the header pipe to the "dual bend header" ofna part #51913. Hope this helps. Have fun.
