Exhaust doesn't fit!

It does not fit. Its hitting the engine mount brace, before it gets half way down the thread on the manifold stud.
Shown in the pictures. What can I do?

Yes just give em a hit with a ball hammer and while you are under the car it looks like it wouldn't hurt to clean the oil off of the bottom of motor
and those cooling fins

Cant see properly but isnt the fuel filter round the wrong way??
Also put a hose clamp from the muffler bracket round the header pipe.
Have you used those heater pipe bits??
Got a pic of them??

No drilling,I wil eventually put an adjustable main jet in but for now it runs fine.
The carby is a 1/32 Stromberg off a 138, the throttle body is from a 161. Bolts onto the vw manifolds.
The fuel isn't staying there, It is only temporary lines to see how the stromberg ran. I'm getting some nice stainless lines made up.
Shit I think the fue filter is wrong. I can remember the narrow end facing the pump.
The heater pipe bits were shocking! Didnt line up at all. Ill just line them up and weld them myself.
All up though, She runs brilliantly. Kinda disappointed that the exhaust doesn't have more of a note, but I spose its a quiet pack

If you can weld and have the motor out SERIOSLY consider putting a flange kit on cylinder 2 & 4 exhausts

[size=4]Is that a fuel filter in the engine bay???
VERY DANGEROUS... that's why VW never had them in there...
they bounce about and can pull the metal pipe out of the fuel pump OR Carburetor...
then Your car will burn....
ALSO- You need a fire extinguisher in Your Beetle....
