Header is attached to the engine. Overpipe is attached to the header. All shields are in place. Muffler is attached the hangers x4. Midpipe is attached the the Muffler and hanger x1.
Went to fit the frontpipe. Loosely bolted the frontpipe to the overpipe to take the weight.
Went to attach the other end to the Midpipe but it is nearly an inch away and cannot reach.
Also the hanger for the front pipe doesn't line up either.
Everything is bolted down and nothing has been missed. I followed the DIY and I have installed exhaust systems before.
I have noticed that the LHS tip of the Muffler is protruding out further from the rear bumper than the RHS. Again, I can't possibly have stuffed this up as its in the factory hangers.

Help?
What catback? I know mine was off like this but it has a slip joint that needs to be readjusted still. Got it bolted up with some help pulling but now it makes contact with the trans tunnel.
