I'm installing the sidepipes on my ERA and having a bear of a time getting them on the last 1/4-1/2" onto the headers. I installed them with the headers loose and a jack supporting the rear of the sidepipe, and used Walker AcoustiSeal as recommended by ERA. I tried to move the pipe slightly to ensure I got a straight fit, and used a piece of wood lengthwise and a mallet to hit the edge of the tabs, through the opening in the body. I hit it pretty hard and got it almost all the way on, but I cannot get the sidepipe and header tab holes to align. They are off probably 1/4-1/2". Any hints would be appreciated, as well as ones to make sure the side pipes are parallel with the body. Thanks.
