Hooker LT Y-pipe

Anyone running the Hooker Y-pipe that is supposed to fit their LTs?
I am trying to install and the passenger side pipe is about 3" off, pointing out torwards the front wheel. I will have to take it to a muffler shop to have it bent correctly. I was hoping this would be close enough to bolt up....

Any advise will be greatly appreciated.

I did not have any problems with the bend angles. I did have to cut off some tubing before I tig welded it together, though.

IT took awhile to get mine to fit, you just have to work with it and it will eventually line up.

hmm...
how much had to be cut off?
And I assume the crushed tube goes on the driver side.
I will try to work on it some more before taking to a shop.

Probably got bent somehow. I had the same thing happen when I put on some new SLP Shorties a few yrs ago... exhaust shop took care of it.
