Everything I have seen on the Clifford's say to take the material out of the exhaust flange when having fitment issues.

I would mount the exhaust manifold first, then place some grease on the flange of the intake. When you go to mount the intake, the grease will show the spots on the exhaust that are in interference.

As much as it sucks to hear it, if the clearance issues are too bad to sort with a little grinding, you may need to decide which one you want more. The Clifford, or the Heddman.
