Big Radius install HELP!!!!

Hey i have a 2011 Fat Bob and installing the Vance and Hines Big Radius 2to 2 exhaust. My problem is where the mufflers attach to the transmission bracket. The forward hole on each pipe doesn't even come close to lining up! It was very difficult to pull and pry just to get the rear holes to line up. i have tried many different combinations of loosening the head bolts, transmission bracket bolts and of course prying. Any tricks would be great!!!!! Thanks

Is there a chance V&H sent you the wrong exhaust - I'd get the part# & give them a call to start....shouldn't need to pry anything into place for fitment.

Mine did the same thing until I loosened and pulled out at both of the angles coming from the downtube. I re-tightened while holding out and it lined up.
