Did you take mesurments before you ordered them?
Were they made for your boat?
Call lighting mfg. to see what they have to say.
I have lighting headers on my 253' I gave them mesurements when I ordered them they fit perfect.

FNSHRMASTER, CONTACT STAINLESS MARINE IN FT LAUDERDALE, FL; THEY CAN MAKES YOU A CUSTOM S PIPE TO GO FROM THE HEADER TO THE TRANSOM. IF YOU DON;T HAVE ENOUGH ROOM FOR THE INTERNAL SILENT CHOICE YOU MAY HAVE TO USE EXTERNAL MUFFLERS IF YOU WANT TO KEEP THINGS QUIET.
