Never heard of "NXT STEP" exhaust. Call the manufacturer or vendor and see what they have to say about installation tips and techniques.

You didn't fill out your profile so we don't know what car you have. You need to be aware that there are at least 3 different axleback configurations for a C6.
1. '05 thru '08, 2.5"
2. '09 and up, 2.5"
3. Z06, 3.0"
The midpipe changed on the C6 in '09 so earlier passenger side axlebacks won't fit.

If so, then try twisting the pipe in an effort to wiggle it in there. I don't know what exhaust that is so I don't know how it's configured. This is just what I do with the stock axle back, which is hard enough with those big mufflers in the way.
OR
Do you already have them over the axle and are just having problems getting everything to line up?
If this is your problem than you may have a part that was not made correctly. The instructions normally have tips on there.
BTW, of course the easiest way to get any axle back in there (regardless of size) is by lowering the cradle a little. But I hightly doubt they require that. I'm just saying as a last case senario.
