are you sure you've been sent the right manifold?

looks like the standard cheap manifolds from germany which are known to cause cleaerance problems on G's.
the PSD one and PPP ones have a kink in the first header to clear the charger.

to be honest i wouldn't start to bend it out the way if it fouls by quite a bit, it is clear that the manifold doesn't suit a G therefore send it back , get your wedge back and put your name down for a PPP one which is the exact same as the PSD.

in that case it looks like you are a bit f'ed then.
looking at your pictures it seems to me that you'll need to move header 2 by a fair chunk to get it to clear the lader outlet and to make matters worse its hitting the dome rather than the webbing on the outlet.
you could give it a wack to clear it but you'll be restricting the exhaust flow by a fair amount if you gotta make lots of clearance!

Hmm bit of a dilema, will this fit on to a GT (i guess so)? If so might be worth putting it up for sale on ClubPolo and seing what you can get for it rather than cutting it about and risking f'ing it big time...

cut your losses, sell it on and get a proper one! if you are going to do it then you might as well do it properly
