Aprilia Racing (Akrapovic) Titanium Cans 2009 Tuono

Guys - just received my new Aprilia Racing Titanium cans. Beautiful things they are too. However, struggling to fit them. Right hand link pipe and can go on and settle nicely to bolt on to hanger. I can't get the left side to adjust so that the cans are symmetrical when viewed from behind. Not helped by very tight can to link pipe joint. I'm hoping that someone has been through this before me and can offer some advice........
 
Rub a bit of emery cloth around the leading edge of the can and inside the collector.A dab of coppaslip grease on the joint helps too.Also makes it easier to remove the can later.
Mine was tight on the right hand side,but the above helped no end.
 
It's pretty common for the headers not to be fully seated into each other (not the part where it mounts at the manifold) look particularly at the joints/flanges that are held together with the spring tensioners.
Look carefully and take a few measurements of the two exhaust pipes without the cans on, and do some comparisons...i.e. height off the ground etc. You'll then get an idea it they're sitting properly.
Mine were out before I tweaked them.
