Default headers to close to oil filter

ihave a 06 cbr600rr I recently put on a micron serpent full system, i noticed the oil filter sits like a quarter in or less from it. anyone have this system? i was thinking i might need to loosen the slip on to get room in the exhaust. anyone have any expiernce with this exhaust?

Take off your lower fairing. Use a oil filter socket on a extention. Turn your front tire and put the socket on first. Slip the extenaion through the header in the front and loosen. Shimmy the filter through the side or bottom.

FAIL.

Do you have a longer oil filter?
If so you could go down to a shorter one?
If not I dont have an answer for you.

Holy misread thread batman. Lol I cant believe I did that. jeff is right if you have a long filter you might be able to fix it by installing a smaller one. My friends 929rr had the issue. Switched to a shorter mobil 1 m108 filter.
