Default Corsa x-pipe header flanges not centering on the x-pipe

in process of installing my corsa pipe now but the xpipe header connections are not mating up the passenger side donut and xpipe connection are not lining up. has anyone had to tweak the xpipe or cut the center brace on the x pipe to get them to line up??

have been messing with it for half hour trying different combos but the header donuts just wont line up.

thanks

no, it was a straight up bolt in - no tweaking or cutting.

ended up getting it straight and all connections leak proof. just took some cininching down of the bolts at the header connection to get further tightented then got it all going good.

I had the same thing with the Borla x-pipe but I don't think it is the fault of the pipe. I think the donut gasket hangs up in the flange. I bolted up one side and .used a clamp that can be flipped around so that it spreads instead of squeezes. Popped right in place
