i guess i shouldn't mind taking a hammer to it if it's an N/A motor that doesn't really care about flow restriction anyways...

I have a no-name header that fits, it's very close but no interaction. Mine is similar to ISR or OBX, just an "ebay" stainless 4-2-1. 4-2-1s usually have better clearance, that's why 4-1s usually have that extra joint in the bellhousing area, otherwise you wouldn't even have enough room to install them.
That said I think under the right conditions letting out the clutch something on mine juuuust kisses the floorpan or firewall. It's not much but just enough that I feel a tingle in my left foot. And that only started after I replaced my sagging transmission mount with a fresh OEM-style one from Enjuku.
