Lokar Oil Dipstick and AS&M/RK Sport Headers?

Guys,

I've had it with the stock dipstick tube as it doesn't fit right on my car and with all the damn bending I can't get it to bolt back up or fully seat right. I'd like to go the lokar route and I know they get hot as hell but don't care as I will check the oil with gloves. My question is there anyone here that has the AS&M/RK Sport mids on their car with a Lokar as where they are typically mounted (between #4 and #6) there is little/no space with these headers due to the primary. Any pics would be helpful or suggestions.

I have the AS&M headers. I use the stock dipstick tube, and its been there for 11 years without the bolt attaching it to the block. No problems.

Thx Fred, I know the stocker will work, but I'd like the look of the Lokar and want to keep it in place better. Hate the way the stock tube moves so much, doesn't seat fully, leaks and don't want to jury rig it anymore. Would like to go the Lokar route.
