Headers install

Within the next week or two, I'm going to be installing a better set of headers and it looks like the motor mounts may have to be trimmed or bent or whatever. Anyone have any methods of doing this that work fairly easily?

When I put my stock Mustang headers in, I had to bend the right-side "retaining" loop out of the way. I used a special high-tech device that you can only find in the most exclusive tool stores...
