Default major crisis w/ h pipe

alright i got a major crisis... people made it specifically clear that a short mac H pipe would fit bbk long tube headers... well mine didnt... first the 2 pipes of the h pipe didnt go into eachother.. so i had to find a way to make the hole bigger for the smaller hole to fit into.. after i fixed that the h pipe wouldnt fit.. it was off by like an inch or 2 inches.. i dont no whether its the h pipe or the headers.. im real upset.. can any1 help.. and i also realized the o2 sensor doesnt fit on the driver side header.. so could it be the headers.. or the h pipe b/c like i said.. im real concerned... maybe its not the h pipe or headers.. maybe i just need to have it professionally done.. so they can bend the pipes or sumthin to make em fit.. im desperate for some advice on this... can any1 help me!

yeah its supposed to be,, but i guess i just got a junk piece.. its not the headers i dont think.. i think its jsut that mac apparently makes crap products.. like it was too short and too long at the same time.. it wouldnt fit right in the headers.. it was off on 1 side by like an inch or 2

Is the H-pipe one peice? If it is then just cut it half way in the crossover pipe. Then when you get it in the car just get a bit bigger pipe and fit over the joint and clamp it.

Dude, calm....

It happened to me to with factory exhaust manifolds...you gotta clamp it in the middle first, then try to connect it to the headers...otherwise it doesn't line up.

ok well i tried that.. it doesnt line up period.. if i try to connect it to the driver header first then the passenger.. its off.. like its not perfect.. vice versa... so that tells me that this h pipe is a piece of **** and now i dont no even if a bassana short x pipe would fit.. any1 got anymore suggestions of what i should do here.. if i brought it to a meineke.. could they make it so that it would fit perfectly.. by bending metal or adding metal or some crap like that.. i mean tell me the bottom line.. should i get rid of the mac h pipe and get a bassani x pipe??? i mean what the hell fits bbk headers.. long tubes
