It looks like the whole thing should have had a little more bend in it and about an inch or so longer to allow the collector pipe to tuck up in place and line up to the mounting hole and still have the head pipes fit flush with the doughnut gaskets. I guess all i can do is snug the nuts down a little bit and see where it lies, then force it up a just a little bit and make a litle pc to connect them together. Kind of disappointed they couldnt have made these things fit better.
Photos? Exhausts can be a pain to install sometimes. After a little massaging and jiggling they may fit better
Also sounds silly but make sure one of the original exhaust gaskets at the headers isn't in there still and then you're trying to push the new gasket on the new headers against it. That could be messing with your inch of length if the headers arnt all flush in the manifold.

I used to have lots of issues and couldn't add photos. Then I got the Tapatalk app to view my forums and I can add photos and all now.
