if you cant find a way i know MM makes a cable that is longer to accomodate any issues you might have like that. http://www.maximummotorsports.com/cq.asp#cables

umm...you could try bending the bracket that holds the cable to the wheel well forward to try to get it away from the headers. or maybe try fabricating it so it is a little shorter and pulls the cable towards the driver side and away from the engine a little more
