I apologize if this has been addressed, but is there any clearance issues between the elbows at the oil filter and the panel that covers the oil pan on the underside of the car?

On mine (the Stillen kit, but same basic issues at the sandwich plate) I simply rotated the sandwich plate a little so that the connections are on the front side rather than the bottom (not completely 90 degrees from the picture, but damn near it). I did that more for easy oil filter removal than for ground clearance, I don't think it's an issue regardless of direction.
