I had to replace the resonator because of damages when car was hit in that corner and this requires removing the J-tube (#21) and lower tube (#8)



Picture below is the connection of the J-tube (#21) and lower tube (#8)
AFTER I put them back.



I'm not sure if the connection of the tubes should be "flush" - red line meets blue line.
I tried my hardest and the J-Tube wouldn't go further down. (arm still hurting)

Can you guys take a peek at that spot and let me know if yours look the same way ?

thanks
