Exclamation retaining heat shield with downpipes - URGENT

Is this possible? My mechanic just called and said the cant get the heat shield to fit with the downpipes in. Theyre efi logic catted downpipes. I need an answer quick since he's doing the install right now.

Thanks!!!

With my AR Design catted DP's, I cut up the heat shield to make them fit as well as possible. By the time I finished cutting, 50% of the heat shield was in the recycle bin.

I doubt that you will have an issue with running no heat shield.

Well the problem is that the hybrid wires run right by the heat shield. The bmw tech said it could cause problems. But the issue as it appears is that when my tech spoke to the efi rep, he said the dp have only been tested on x5m and x6m. which contradicts what he told me before ensuring they will fit the n63 without issue. Now I have downpipes I can't use which don't fit and I'm out $1000 in labor charges. hopefully efi straightens this out.
