Unhappy 96 GT magnaflow catback install problems

I just got the magnaflow catback system tonight and jacked the car up and attempted to install it. I got the oem catback off with no problems, Driver side went on completely fine with no hitches except i can't get the tip hanger through the loop? However the biggest issue is clearance on the passenger side, the flanged pipe connecting the midpipe to the muffler is awkward and the only way I can get the muffler even close to the hanger is by getting the flanged pipe way too close to the driveshaft. Then just to see how it all went together I put the S bend on and sure enough way off, sorry no pictures, but what would really help if somebody had complete install pictures of the underbody for me to look at. Any year from 96 to 98 and use the magnaflow catback system would be sweet. Right now I'm running oem headers+midpipe+magnaflow flange pipe and mufflers and thats it without the S bend. I fiddled with it for 3 hours... and had 2 other buddies helping. Yes it is the corrent system but the instructions suck and so much for a direct install only lasting an hour... Thanks for the help, it's really frustrating. Sounds nice, but I payed for a whole system not just for mufflers....

Is it possible they sent you the wrong application? Maybe a quick call to their tech line might push you in the right direction. Just a thought...
