Anyone have one of these? I just bought one a couple weeks ago. We got my headers done on Saturday morning before the my little mishap after we started the cam/valvespring job.

Anyhow, we installed the pipe on the car. It looked a little odd laying on the ground and when we got it in the car, it bolted right up the the catback and the pass-side header, but it is about 1"-1.5" off from mating with the driver's-side header. We tried forcing it, but were afraid of bending or breaking a weld on the pass-side header. Anyone else had this problem?

BTW, IIRC, Trubendz used to be "Yo Dude" which I know there used to be a few of you that had those pipes.
 
i had the same issue. Take the xpipe completely off the car and bend it by stepping on on side and pulling the other. It took me and two friends to get it right.

Whatever you do, don't bend it while it's ON the car. You could potentially crack a header or something worse over time. Let me know if you have more Q's.
