Anyone have problem getting the pipes to fit together when insatling an exhaust? I've never installed an exhaust system before and don't know what to expect. I have the down pipe in but the next section doesn't want to slide on. Is this normal? Do I have to spread the pipe a little more to get it to fit?

It should slide in. It will be snug. In your case,maybe check for any burrs or spots where it might've gotten dinged or out of round.

It looks like the end of the down pipe isn't quite round.
