Default For Those of you that have installed Kooks 1-3/4" headers

For Those of you that have installed Kooks 1-3/4" headers, how close do they come to the starter motor - 2006 C6 Z51? Getting ready to install in a couple of weeks.
I'm going to get a starter heat shield but was wondering the header to starter proximity, and header to clutch line proximity.
Thanks

How about the clutch line proximity ?

I have the Katech remote bleeder installed in mine. It's a steel braided line and that allowed me to run it away nicely from the headers. No issues at all.

Must be a pain to install, don't you have to drop the clutch?

If you pull the intake you can supposedly get it from the top. But yes I had my driveline down swapping the clutch out.
