I had to bend the hanger just a bit to make it work. I ended up hating the way the tips looked and sold it on ebay.

Re: Schatz exhaust tip install HELP

I had the exact same problem. The pieces just did not fit. I ended up returning it back to Performance Products for a refund. Even though it turned out to be a manufacturing defect, they only gave me a partial refund minus the shipping cost.
