Headers Installed, Exaust didn't fit right

I installed the header today and was actually easier than I thought. The hardest part was of course taking off all the rusted bolts, but they came off after using some lubricant and a lot of strength.

Before


After


Although the header was easy to install, the exhaust was where it got difficult. It fit but the flange that connected the exhaust and the b-pipe was rubbing against the axle boot as seen below.





It would not be drivable if it is like that. So I had to install the stock exhaust to the new header.

This is a picture of the old header and the exhaust that I had to install.


Does anyone know why it is rubbing against the axle boot. Me and my dad tried every possible angle and it still was rubbing against it. Is it possible that the exhaust is defective. I will contact Baktash about this as soon as I can, but does anyone know what the problem is.

These are all the parts I used to try to install the exhaust.


Any help would be great.
Thanks
