This is gonna sound shade tree, but Brad the main Hannigan tech installer who has done hundreds of installs, taught me this years ago. The common fix is to shim the pipes out at the bottom frame exhaust standoff mount using washers, and secure it as you normally would. It will be close, but in most cases it will clear.
Leave both the front and rear upper exhaust head pipe nuts loose while shimming and tightening the lower frame standoff mount bolt, then tighten both front and rear head pipe nuts.
