Help with HKS Exhaust!

I'm installing the HKS exhaust and the axle back pipe that connect to the mid pipe is giving me problems. I can't get the flanges to meet together. Where the bolts screw in together are touching but the outsides are still far away. How do I get the flanges to meet and greet parallel with each other? Are they suppose to meet or be off? Please respond even if you don't have HKS exhaust.

No one knows if it is suppose to meet up or is that okay to have it like that? It doesn't seem right.

Once both Spring loaded bolts are tightened all the way down, you are DONE..

Start it up and check for leaks.. There shouldn't be any with the bowl shaped flange and donut gasket in place..

From your pics is looks correct..

I finally figured it out at 11:00 at night. It just so wiggly that i thought it would leak. But everything is working. Not liking the HKS!!!! The drone at low rpms is annoying. It sounds good at WOT.
