If your pic is accurate then it looks like you have two issues: pipes not in alignment and being too short . Is that correct ? Or is the concern just alignment ? If I remember correctly from doing mine this is a two piece test pipe and one of those pieces is " adjustable " for the length . For the alignment it's not unusual to have to use a ratchet strap to persuade exhaust pipes to line up . Leave everything a little loose and get everything lined up and start tightening . I start at the headers and move back to the muffler . Good luck .
