Kinugawa headers fitment issues

My car is currently in getting a Kinugawa td05 20g twin scroll and matching elh and up pipe. He is saying there is clearance issues with the oil cooler and related piping and the new headers. I'm waiting for him to get back to me and see if he could get them to work. Anyone ever hear of any issues line this? He said I might need to change to a spec c impreza oil modine. Anyone ever hear of issues like this with aftermarket headers? Engine is JDM ej20y. Hopefully he figured it out in the mean time. But just wanted to ask on here first.

So most recent update is, that headers fit ok, they are close on the left side touching a little plastic cover that shields one of the OCV connectors, up pipe seems way off, as in it hits the subframe. One last attempt is to try the stock vf36 up pipe with the kinugawa headers and hopefully that make it all work nice. Im at the end of my tether with this legacy! Definitely no more mods after this!

KillerB headers n sump FTW, No fitment issues at all.
Thanks for letting us know about the Kinagawa issues.
Good luck, keep at the lib, you are so close to being sorted.

OK so Kinugawa headers fit with stock vf36 up pipe. Last time I checked killer b didn't do anything for twin scrolls?

Car is back together now, I just need some more parts before re-tune
