2G 6-Bolt Swapped HX-40 Questions

[TunedUp]

Hello,
So, I have ran into an issue that I have no idea what to do. I have my HX40 installed and now I cant put my downpipe on because it hits my dip stick tube. I have tried bending it a little, but that didn't work at all. I am at a loss, and would see if anyone has had this issue, or would like some recommendations on how I can about fixing this issue.

My dipstick tube was in the way of my wastegate when I installed my t3 hx40. I bent mine a lot, they're pretty malleable just go easy and take your time.
Bending the tube a lot changed how the dipstick itself stuck down into the pan. So I had to get the level right with an unaltered tube and then make a new mark on the stick for the bent tube.

Same as above. I had to bend my tube a TON for my HX35 to fit. Just take it slow and try not to bend it all in the same place.

Mine looks almost identical to yours Erik. I used a tubing bender to help bend mine without kinking it.
