Then again, I was trying to install 2.5" rams horns, which have a much larger body.

My situation exactly. With these manifolds I had less than 1/4" clearance from the motor mount. I had to splice and cut a bend but to clear the crossmember but it didn't make for a very pretty bend. A bit of an irregular shape.
