3. make a second alignment such that you will have nice clearance
4. tighten up the clamp of the outer pipe
5. tighten up the flange of the outer pipe
6. check clearance if the outer pipe won't hit the heatshield
7. tighten up the clamp the the inner pipe
8. tighten up the flange of the inner pipe
9. reinstall the support brace of the exhaust
At point 8. the inner pipe will move/bend to the outer piper because it has to close a big gap.

you have one thing in a bind, very easy to do...if you put these pipes in a bind u will not be able to put bolts thru the flange.
