something is seriously wrong with this set up the because with the bullets all the way on the tips of the turn downs are touching the rear end and the hangers are about 6 to 8 inches from where the drill point is for them. im about to say screw it and get a y pipe and catback it has awsome clearance just the bullets dont wont to go on rite if the x pipe was cut they would work

Make sure all of your fittings are all the way in. Maybe you did not push them in all the way in or they worked there way loose while you were moving it around. I didn't have to cut mine either. I did beat the hangers back with a hammer to get them so I could mount them.
