Default Dip stick w/ long tube headers

I have long tubes headers and my dip stick isn't fittin around it. It only hang half in and is leaking oil and doesn't give me a correct reading on my oil. anyone else with long tubes, what did you do to get this to fit or is there a special dipstick that you can buy? thanks

Your problem is, you need to take it out, and put it throuhg the headers, it doesnt go around the long tubes, it goes between 1 and 2 im pretty sure, I had the same problem, I bent the crap out of mine, then I went and got a new one and it fits perfect now in between the pipes. Its pressed in, if you didnt know, took me like 5 mins to replace.
