How close are long tubes to your oil filter ?

I have an oil cooler and I think if I got long tubes they might touch the filter since it sticks down an exta 2-3 inches now ... Anyone know how far away long tubes are from the oil filter? If your oil filter was 2-3 inches longer would it hit the headers ???

Before I dimpled my Grotyohann's, the gap between filter and header was as thin as a business card.

I have a good inch to inch and a half between the filter and my Jet Hots.

The 1 inch of clearance your talking about, is that to the side of it, or below it ? If they run below it, they wont fit on my car ... And if theyre any closer then an inch, they might not fit on mine
