The QTP (Mufflex) Y-pipe is like a puzzle. You really need to work with it, with patience to get it to fit correctly. Once installed, it's one of the best flowing Y-pipes on the market due to its Flowmaster Scavenger merge collector.
Give it another go before purchasing yet another Y-pipe.

I agee. It will take a lot of time and patience, but, because it has so many joints, it' s made to be completely adjustable. Make sure all the slip joints are open enough to allow you to turn the pipes. I found, when I originally installed my y-pipe, the joints could have been opened up a little more, and if it were, I could have gotten it to fit a little better.
Keep trying. I' m sure it can get a little better fit for ya'.
Good luck.

How much for your catted y-pipe?

Original catted (Random Tech) Y from SW was $550 I think (few years back now). But I have changed the cats to Dynatech hi-flows. One cat broke and had to be replaced so I went with better flowing ones. The Y was not easy to put together I know that, comes in 5 peices which I wasnt expecting either, but it did finally go. Sounds like you made it work anyway though. I have no complaints about my SW setup at all. But most people do have trouble with the Y. Its built to be so tight and tuck up that it makes for a difficult assembly.
