Angry GRRRRR.....JBA header won't line up!!!

I'll try to post the pic. My header is in alignment with the head, however, the bolt passages between the header and the cat pipe collector are off by about 30 degrees. This is just the passenger side. Is this right? I'd think not, but I've never done these before. If they are fubar, I hope I can send them back. Unfortunatley, they've been scratched up trying to fit them in. Kinda like trying to fit a watermelon up a......nevermind. HELP!!!!

I wondering if they didn't send me the wrong part. The part # on the box matches the listing on the instructions, and the part # listed on the web site. Hmmmmm....anyone else run into this problem? How's their tech support?

Doh!!!

Never mind. I didn't know the bracket (? don't know what it's really called) on the cat pipe was supposed to move freely. Sorry all...I'm an idiot.

Edit: Damn rust!! Did I mention I hate Syracuse?
