Default Hooker Y-Pipe Problem

I just got a Hooker Y-Pipe for my Hooker LT's and the slip together joints don't slide onto the collector at all. Has anyone else had this problem with these y-pipes or is it just me. What did you do make it slip together smoothly.

Thanks
Ryan

Mine installed pretty easily, but Tiff's were a little tight going on. Give 'em a good shove, they'll go on..

I just put on my hookers as well and the Y did fit pretty good, It just has to be lined up perfectly, You might also try a little w-d40 to get it to slide on easier.

I had to play with mine a little, but it went on easier w/help from vaseline!

Go to Discount Auto and get a can of PB Blaster, and spray some on the ends of the y-pipe and use some form of persuasion via rubber mallet.
