I haven't heard of any issues with MXP. Are you sure that the pipe is bent? It usually takes some time to get everything lined up properly. If this is your 1st time installed a dual exhaust, you might just need to keep tweaking it until everything is lined up right.

Loosen the midpipe and axle back section, and rotate the pipes until things are lined up.

The tips are also adjustable, make sure they're on nice and straight. Sometimes they can be a bit crooked, one of mine was on my MXP too at first.

Sorry I didn't post pics, reason is, I have found a way. I put some washers to drop the muffler section and I used a 2x4 wood piece to pry the flanges. I Had to muscle the hell out of it. thanks
