home depo!
get those screw and go there ,get longer ones.
in 4 hours you can do this trip at least couple of times.
or try to get the "smaller" one first ,/unscrew the easy one/and then try to go thru with the easyone. you are alone there? or use the zipptie to compress the springs /2-3 of them /. then put it back and try like that!

Loosen the other one and get that 2nd bolt in. Never have one side bolted in completely before the other side.

^^ true, I just did my catback, and used vice grips to close the flanges enough to get the bolts thru with little to no effort. Obviously use some rags to not marr up the flanges.

if the downpipe isnt going on all the way, make sure you havent left the donut gasket on the car, that would prevent the downpipe from fitting right

+2, check for the donut. I used the stock spring bolts and ended up loosing both of them after almost a year, so I put in the ones that came with the kit.

its ok next time you put on a dp it will only take 30 minutes. took me 4 hrs the first time for my exhaust too. but i had to walk to the gas station to get my dp drilled so it fit the cat so that took a little longer. and it was like 20 mins getting the o2 off that thing as damn tight.
