Default Flimsy plastic around starter hits headers

2006 LS2 with 1-7/8 LG longtubes.

I recently reinstalled my mufflers and now my headers are hitting the flimsy plastic junk around the starter when starting out driving at low rpms..

Does anyone know if I can just trim back the plastic, or cut off a section of it without harming anything for more clearance?

if you have a manual, i found that removing the inspection covers to the flywheel behind the starter and oil filter helped blow the excess clutch dust from inside the bellhousing.

Problem solved!

Managed to get a hacksaw blade in there and cut by hand....cut about 1/4 inch off and problem went away.
