I have a Livernois off road pipe I'm waiting to install. I'm guessing from the same batch of ypipes?

I'm not doing anything until you find the problem and a solution.

Please let me know.

Let me know if you need me to measure anything on my ypipe kit.

From the pics on Livernois website, it looks like the flanges that bolt to the turbos are floating, so you should be able to rotate the pipes on both sides to get them in the right orientation. You should loosen all the joints and the two flanges mounted to the turbos so you can position all of them together properly. Why don't you call Livernois? I'm sure they would be more than helpful.

I had the 4" Heartthrob catback on my truck and thought the fit was horrible (I didn't install it, hearthrob actually did LOL) but found out that some joints loosened up and I was able to tuck it in real nice after loosening everything up.
You are 100 percent correct Sir, I put mine on my 2012 last Wednesday and thought this can not be the correct pipe. As you said loosen everything turn it and it will fit like a glove. Also worked best for me to tighten at the turbos first.

So are you happy with the sound? Since nobody is posting videos it would be great to get some sort of before and after description. Louder turbos better spool up? Throw us a bone lol

+1, I just want to hear a stock exhaust with offroad y-pipe before I order one. I do not want a loud truck and the y-pipe would be an easy way to free up some exhaust flow without makeing a lot of noise.
