Re: Please read.. Is This normal

I have aftermarket headers on my truck, (Hedman) the drivers side hangs down 3/4" lower than the passenger side. Actually the drivers side looks right, the passenger side looks too high. I discovered this when I went to install my new Magnaflow exhaust system, ( p/n 16643). The driver side went on no problem but the pass. side wouldn't clear the transmission crossmember. I inspected both headers and neither side looks tweaked or bent. The two pipes that connect to the collectors go into an "X" pipe then continue on to the back. Because the one side doesn't fit, neither side will work because they are connected together by the "X" pipe. Also, my headers are 1" wider than the two pipes that connect to them. So for this to work, my right header needs to be 3/4" lower and the two header pipes need to be 1" closer together or this mandrel bent exhaust needs to be reworked. I'm at a loss as what to next. Is this common for one header to be higher or lower than the other by this much?
Any advise appreciated. Thanks
