FL Racing Beat Exhaust issues

I have a Obx header I bought from ebay, I like how it bolts up to the stock cat. Yeserday, my new RB presilencer came in to the mail. Then I noticed that it seems to be little longer that my oem cat. I was told from RB that everything like will fit like a glove, NOT! The Racing Beat presilencer is 3 1/2 inches longer than oem cat. I called then back again to find out that the RB header is 3 1/2 inches shorter than my obx, and others. They sent me a flange for "free". So, I can take my header to a welder, and get it shorter. My point is at the moment I'm fucked. If you buy a RB presilencer, you must buy a RB header, or cut your other header. The RB y pipe, mufflers fit to oem. Watch out for this monopoly!!!!!

Why would you want OBX **** instead of RB? You wouldn't even be using the stock cat, so what was the point in that?

Obx hooks up to stock, the presilencer fucked everything up.

I'm just saying don't do it in stages because you can't, and sir I'm not an idiot, just a noob. For the price I did like the obx, and should have bought the rb that's twice the price.
