Default Need help with my ARH headers

Hey guys,
For some reason I'm having the absolute worst luck in the history of the world with headers. I am desperately trying to finish my car before the deep freeze of winter ( I'm in ND), and I can't seem to sort out this header issue.

I'll spare the details, but I'm just having difficulties with my ARH mid pipes, and I need to see if someone can measure their x-pipe and mid pipes.

When I bought headers for my tall deck RHS Z06 setup, I ordered both catted and off-road pipes. Unfortunately, I ended up getting a set of mid pipes that slipped passed the QC dept., so I'm still waiting for the new pipes to be sent. Their taking a little longer than Expected, so I welded up my other set in the hopes to get my car back on the road. As my typical luck would have it, after I started installing my x-pipe, I realized mine looks wayyyy different from everyone else's.

I'm starting to think I was sent a C5 kit, and not a c6 kit.

Anyways, can someone please measure both mid pipes, and the xpipe? It looks like I might have to modify everything except the headers themselves. I just want to get this freaking car done, and it seems everything is moving at a turtles pace. At this point, I'm almost willing to buy an entire new set of headers just to be done with all of the issues surrounding this install.

Thanks guys.

Another view. As you can see, one of my off-road pipes is significantly shorter than the other (short) one.

Another option would be to use your stock midpipe and turn the rear o2 sensors off and then you can drive the car.
