Default TSP doesnt fit together??

I got my pacesetter longtubes about a week ago, and today my tsp duals with the dynomax bullets came. well i am installing them friday and saturday and tonight when i tried to piece everything together none of the pipes wanted to slide into one another, especially over the header collectors.... is this normal? should i grind some material away or expand the pipe out a little bit?? has anyone else had this problem? thanks!

do the pipes have a thin bead down the inside of them ?if so you will probably have to sand or dremel it out.

Had problems fitting on the Y-pipe because they didn't expand it enough to fit over the header collectors.

My TSP y-pipe wouldn't slip over anything. Took a lot of massaging and stretching to get it to fit.... now if only I could figure out where my ground clearance went.....

My duals did the same thing. I just ran them up to an exhaust shop and they bumped them up for free.
