Delkevic Header Nightmare- Collector gasket doesn't even fit

What is up with the Delkevic header collector gasket?  mine doesn't even fit inside of the collector.  I have FMF Apex Cans that the gasket doesn't fit over and the collector gasket doesn't fit into the collector.  What a nightmare this install has been.  I damaged the one they sent trying to get it to slide into the collector.  It is too big to slide in (having to order a new one now).  Besides that there is zero instructions on the collector gasket to boot from Delkevic.  Knowing this now, I should have just kept the headers stock with welded joints that don't leak.  The Yoshi exhausts on my Gixxer racebikes were of a much higher quality fit and finish.  What is your experience with this install on your Gen 6 bikes?  Did I just get the wrong collector gasket?

Are you sure u need the gasket at all?

 

Some cans just need to be clamped to the headers 

 

Other than that, I'd follow Cogs suggestion 😉

yeah send it back, you got wrong parts. 

 

Nothing ever needs to be forced (nor should you force it). Everything should drop into place when fitted by hand.
