back to my original post, for those interested:
After I took 3/4 of an inch from the passenger side pipe it now fits like a charm.
No adjustments needed on the driver's side. The pipes are original fabspeed pipes, the seller is Suncoast Motorsports in Florida. They had the pipes sitting on the shelf for a year as a return from a customer and they wanted to get rid of it, so I got lucky.
Apparently the clamps got lost in the shuffle in the year the pipes were in storage, but two exhaust clamps from the Pep Boys did the trick
And, yes the new sound: I love it
