BBK exhaust driving me crazy

Well I finally finished the H/C/I swap and added a set of bbk equal length ceramic coated shorty headers to my existing bbk H-pipe. So far I have dropped the H-pipe 5 times and I cannot get the damn thing to seal up at the collectors. I can get the passenger side to line up and seal but then the driver's side leaks. The drivers side pipe looks like it is butting up against the collector flange. Am I the only one that has gone through this?

I always thought that matching components from the same company was supposed to be a good thing? WTF?

I cut the stupid pins off too, but I have the H-pipe to the point where it is hitting on the driver's side of the crossmember and it still bottoms out on the collector flange. The H pipe was on the car with the stock everything when I got it, the headers I bought used from a friend. I also replaced the shot factory motor mounts with energy suspension poly ones.
