Default invidia exhaust install

Hi yall, so I just got my invidia N1 dual in the other day and Im ready to install it. I open it up and realize theres no instructions and its in four pieces. As for the actual install Im good to go, but how do you attach the two mufflers to the split pipe??? The two pipes seem about the same size and I havent pushed hard, but Im not sure if one goes into the other. The hardware came with some U-clamps so Im guessing thats how they would go together. Heres some pics: Help please!!!

I think that the pipe coming off of the muffler slides onto the Y pipe. You just have to twist it around and push some to get it to slide on, then use your U clamps to tighten it down.

Ohh, and a little lube never hurts when trying to get things into tight spaces.

makes me want to go polish my invidia!

helps to have a friend stand behind the car and eyeball the mufflers to tell you where to pull or push them. i ended up having to use my exhaust hangers in weird ways to have the mufflers be even.

I had this problem when installing my Invidia Q300 and I solved it by heating the larger end with a blow torch. After heating, it more or less slid right in, though I did manage to burn a whole in my pants and nearly barbecue my leg by accidentally letting the heated metal touch me...
