Exhaust header for Weber DCOE 140-160

I'm in the process of converting the D-Jetronic in my 71 142 to twin Weber 45 DCOE carburetors. I have ran into a frustrating problem that I hope people in the forum could give me some direction.

The problem is that the rear intake manifold will not clear the headers. I tried two different headers: a BHP and a IDP. Both interfere at different header tubes. Not by a lot but enough to prevent the installation. The only one that worked was the stock cast iron intake manifold, which I'd rather not use. I do not believe this has to do with the intake manifold but by the way the tubes in the headers are routed.

Does anyone know of a header that works with the Weber DCOE carbs?

Thank you in advance.
