Default Y-pipe problems after header install

Yesterday I installed my Pacesetter headers and ORY-Pipe , the opening on the ends of the y-pipe and i-pipe on my Corsa Exhaust are the same diameter so I was unable to slide them together . I am running my car now without the I-pipe but need to get this put back on soon. I was wondering what I can do to make this fit, and if the QTP with dual cut-outs would work for this set up, then I will just replace the pacesetter y with the QTP one. Thanks in advance.

You'll need to flare it

If I get a double flair won't that push the i-pipe even further back and it is already to far back to fit into the over the axle pipe.

Sounds like you need to cut the "I" pipe back so it meets up to the y pipe, making a butt joint and then put a 3" wide band clamp on it.
