Icon2 are all aftermarket headers the same?

so I went the cheap way and bought one off of Amazon, obviously you're probably laughing. it was some piece of **** 4-2-1, no name header, at least it was stainless. where I'm having issues is that its short, where it connects to the cat, I had to pull the whole system towards the flange to get it to meet. I'm talking about a 2-3 inch gap. someone please school me and let me know if I get an actual name brand header, that it won't be short too

I went ahead and bought another header, this time it's a Megan racing header instead of that POS crap that's on their now. I have the greddy evo 2 cat back on, and I need it to stop hitting the underside and shift linkage because of the shitty header it's currently connected to

well im pretty sure when u get that header it will have the same gap. u just need to go to a muffler shop like everyone else is saying and get a 2-3 inch pipe to close that gap im in texas and it would cost like 30 bucks at a local muffler shop here. and dnt get the pipe welded straight to the header use the spring bolts!!
