Tips n tricks for exhaust install

OK, so some progress today, thanks to @MidnightSwinger for the help with pass manifold.
Got the car up on some cribbing, not a lot(4.5") and I may raise it some more.
Over axle pipe(s) is 2 pieces. They're half *** mounted using the old/existing hangers. The 2 pipes join above the axle, so there is a "twist" to it. Trying to keep the tail pipe part of it parallel with the frame rail. But it seems really close to the bump stop? Like less than an inch. Ideas?
First four pics are axle/tail pipe and you can see how close it is to rubber bumper on frame.20240626_210502.jpg20240626_205022.jpg20240626_204736.jpg20240626_204515.jpg
Next pic is of the pipe that is sposed to go to the header, but I'm using the tti head pipe. Look how far off into left field it goes lol, what's with that? It's on other side of driveshaft lol I guess that Hooker headers are that much different?20240626_205239.jpg
Next set of pics are of the 2 pipes that lead from the tti head pipe to the muffler. I measured what I "needed", and it's approx 43". These 2 pipes together are approx 59", so gotta slice n dice 15" or so somewhere.
Pic where I'm pointing is a slight bend, so can't cut there. Where I'm grabbing pipe is a decent straight stretch where I'm thinking to cut.
Open to suggestions of all sorts lol.
