Does your Miltek (non-res) center pipe hang like this underneath?
As you see, the pipe is not nicely centered into the well. As a result, if I try to lift the pipe enough to fit the stem into the optional hangar, the pipe would hit the bend of the bracket and heat shield.

I'm struggling with mine as we speak. Mine doesn't look that bad. I need to rotate my center......
pipe a bit and I'm waiting for some Borla clamps to arrive tomorrow. Yours looks really out of wack. I would probably pull it apart and start over. Center pipe looks like it needs to be rotated at the very least. Good luck.

you need to rotated the center pipe so that the hanger is in line
with the donut. Then, adjust the rear hangers accordingly.
If the muffler hangs too low, bend the hangers on the muffler itsel, and if the muffler sits too high, then add washers to the stock holders (unbolt, add washer underneathe).

Loosen ALL the clamps enough so that you can rotate and wiggle the various...
sections into place. It would help if you had someone at the rear of the car to keep the tips even and centered too. If you are doing this all by yourself you need a sled to slide back and forth to keep checking the rear alignment of the tips. But either way you should be able to rotate that piece of pipe into the correct position, from the pictures you took it needs to rotate ccw but also move to the right so that the hanger bar is directly under the donut. Keeping all the clamps loose is the best trick I can tell you. From there it's just alot of back and forth checking and adjusting

just like they said...mine was like that at first, but loosen clamps and start rotating. >>
after you attach it, then you have to do little adjustment rotating to make sure the tips are even on both sides of the valence....but you will love the non-res!
