shaving off part of 3rd lower intake manifold?

Has anyone shave off the area where the egr valve is? I am installing a T-78 and I don't want to put a dent in the downpipe. Can someone post a picture. I would like to know how much is needed to be shaved off. Thanks!!!

Ahh you ran in to that problem huh. The HKS T51R also has a fitment problem with the US lower intake manifold. The J-Spec ones do not have EGR and are cleaner. I got a whole J-Spec motor that i swapped in.
