the hump is supposed to go up, tti explained the reason was
to help the e-brake clearance, (i think it makes it worse)
though it is still functional.
 
i was having the same problems you were having, until
i figured out which elbow went on which side.
then it slid together really nicely.
 
i did have to trim a couple inches offf the muffler end of the
pipes, but as i stated previously, that could have been taken
off the collectors (i think)
 
tti has super customer service, too bad you couldn't get a 
chance to run both pipes and compare them.

maybe you got a wrong part,

the headers come out with one side further back than the other, (all headers)
with mine, the x-pipe has an equal center length, this means you need
one elbow to compensate for the header which is longer/shorter.

once you figure out which is which,(they are supposed to be numbered)
then you could put it on with the hump either down or up, i complained to
tti about the hump, maybe it is not there anymore?

i have never had an exhaust system that compares to the performance of the 
x-pipe.

With the hump down (yes, it's still there), I think my ground clearance 
would be drastically reduced. I'll look at the elbows though. They looked 
identical when I laid it all out. I talked everything thru with TTI and they 
weren't exactly sure why I was having problems. They did talk about some 
measurements that weren't included on my instructions. They're used to mount the 
hanger brackets for the mufflers. I used the measurements off the OEM one and 
got it pretty close luckily enough. I imagine my problem is tolerance 
stackup, a bad bend in a pipe, or just plain stupidity on my part. I also didn't 
like the way the emergency brake cable rubs everywhere. One of the reasons I 
bought the system was to have a functioning E-brake system that didn't rub 
everywhere. I told the rep that I thought I would be happier with the H-pipe 
system and they are going to square me away. So I'm pretty happy all in all 
and super impressed with the customer service. If the H-pipe gives me similar 
problems then I'm just going to keep my mouth shut and deal with it as the 
problem obviously lies with me or my car.
