Default HELP: Middle of Header install - Catted X problem

I'm in the middle of installing headers but the catted X-pipe does not meet up to where the headers are coming out. Its like the headers are too wide or the X-pipe are in too much. Its about a half an inch off.

Is there a difference between LS2 and LS3 midpipes?

hmm...didnt try that because its seemed waaay off. Im not sure I would want to put that kinda pressure on heads to split the x pipe at least a 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch

I picked them up from MTI. They are custom to them...no badges. I'll have to get a hold of them after Thanksgiving.

We decided to abort the install until we can figure out what is wrong.

Yay for 8 hours of work and nothing to show for it
