Default exhaust fitment issues

ok so i decided to purchase a skunk2 exhaust about a month ago. my brother put it on for me becuz i was borrowing someone elses car for the day. anyways i get my car bak the next day and it was vibrating all to hell.

the only reason i replaced my exhaust in the first place was it had a huge hole in it/rattled/smelled real bad. so i asked my bro WTF?. he was tryin to give me some BS that my header was too long, so it was throwing the fitment off.

i had a highflow cat to put on as well, and he was sayin it was making the exhaust stick out about 2 inches more than the stock cat. so the vibrating noise is coming from the passenger rear side before it does the last 90 degree bend with the canister.

i cant say that i have had a chance to look at it very good becuz i dont have a rack like my brother did at work. but it looks like my midpipe could be upside down, but the canister still sticks out a few inches past the bumper, not the tip, the canister, with the STOCK cat. anyways wtf is goin on?
