TTI Exhaust on a Duster anyone install one?

i have a 70 duster im just starting to install a 2.5 tti system with tti headers i cant get the flanges to line up on the headers to x pipe did u have to bend your x pipe to fit

from what I seen on my 1970..the way the TTI hearders are made...one goes in and the other goes down...on mine anyways....was going to x pipe...then said no sice my buddy said it was too much work...but with out the x pipe on mine..still sounds nice...
