shorty headers for A Body???

I have the Sanderson DD7 headers on a 72 Dart, there is a problem clearing the rag joint but can be done without beating in the headers with a Flaming River steering coupler. They were pretty much laying against the steering and in my case you would have to beat that tube flat to get enough clearance. Or maybe your getting the DD8? I though they might have fixed that problem with the new design.
