300tdi downpipe problem

Fitting a new rigid downpipe to a straight through system and having a couple of issues...

back box  and straight through pipe fitted and sitting well, new downpipe a PITA..

holes on the mounting flange were too small and needed redrilling, now fitted but sits about 2 inches to the left of the centre pipe. is this a bad downpipe or does the centre section flex that much to join up? if so would seem to put a lot of stress on the manifold?

I think the flange is welded on wrong, but would like to know if anyone else has had problems??

The only issue I recall when I decatted mine and fitted a defender downpipe was the fiddling around to get it past the cross members and bodywork.  Once I clicked that I just needed to jack up the cab it slotted in no probs then it was the normal selection of skinned knuckles and blood when trying to fit the rubber hangers.
