What am I doing wrong?

I literally spent all day today removing my exhaust in order to put in the Borla Cat back Exhaust (Long story...striped nut that had to be cut..and so on.) So I go to insert the middle exhaust section and it does not fit. Seems like it is about a foot too short.

I have and X, and the Borla site said that the system I purchased is correct Part # 140093 , but there is not way in hell this will fit around the transmission.

Am I confused?? Maybe another X owner has had this happen?

I am an idiot and should have used the site. In a search I see that the Borla does not fit. I WILL MAKE SURE THAT THIS BAD INFO COMES OFF THEIR SITE!!

it looks like the y pipes need to be extended to connect to cats.

I sure hope they update their site soon. I wonder how many other people have had the same problem.

Will it fit a 05/06 RWD or 03/04X? I was looking at buying a borla exhaust once I find one for less than 700...

Taking it to the shop

See if the exhaust folks @ Lou's Custom can cut and paste in order to make this system work. I am not good at quitting once I start.
