Default Exhaust issue

Hey out there. Looking for some help. I just purchased a cat back Force || exhaust from flow master for my 05 c6 Vette. It’s suppose to fit this car but it doesn’t. The exhaust sits almost on the transmission. Any ideas what the issue is?

Looks like only one set-up for either transmission to me... both fit an '05. Axle back and cat back..



Just throwing this out there.... but you have the right stuff on the correct sides??? Part numbers match what's on your packaging???

Good luck...

Ehh...count your blessings. Flowmaster is a thing of the past in my book...just a lot of noise and drone. I'd look for something else...heck, I'd go with Mangaflow before Flowmaster.
