Default QTP Y pipe, does this look right to you guys?

I'm in the process of hanging my QTP Y and this is how it came out. It doesn't follow the driveshaft but rather it seems to edge off to the passenger side. I thought this was odd but then I lined up the rest of the catback and it flowed back and over the axle pretty well it seemed. I didn't actually bolt it up but it looked like it would work with some minor massaging. I just wanted to check with you guys and see if everything looked good so far. From what it looked like if it had followed the driveshaft all the way back then it wouldn't have been in the correct position to go over the axle. Anyways, here's some pics...

You can pull the passenger side off the header a little and try to push the driver sode on a litle more. Also that little piece on the driver side that is adjustable, that affects how the rest of the y pipe ends up.

Cool, well I'll just wiggle it around everything lines up. It looked to be pretty close to where it needed to be. Everyone always seems to complain about how shitty the QTP y is.... I actually like it and think it's a pretty nice piece. It just slipped right up for me and the ground clearance is pretty good from what I can see so far.

I'm sorry, but I can't see the pics'. From what I'm reading though, it sounds like the angle it's pointing toward the passenger's side is right, because that's the only way the catback I-pipe would not hit the driveshaft.

My suggestion would be to just double check the passenger's side header, on the #2 primary, right where it passes above the front engine craddle. I had to grind this area a bit, but otherwise didn't have fitment issues.
