I can't account for the obvious gross misalignment. To make it work without spending $$$$$ I would cut back both of the tubes so that there was only about 5/8" being projected. Then install the scat tube with hose worn screw clamps. It's hard to tell when looking at the pictures but it does appear you will be able to gain enough room for a satisfactory S turn in the scat tube. Won't be pretty but should be functional.Just to move this back to the top before I go throwing $1000 bills at the problem, does anyone have any ideas?
But Steve, that is the shroud which does not line up. Isn't that shroud part of the shroud which surrounds the muffler? Therefor is fixed in location?I would suspect that right exhaust pipe has been repaired and is a bit high where it meets the muffler. That diamond patch is not original. I would try another pipe and see what that does to your alignment.
