The bolt holes are at least an inch apart from lining up and the passenger side wheel at the front is touching the bumper. see the pic below. How do I go about realigning the subframe so I can bolt this back up? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!!


You should never taken the subframe down
I did plenty of xi downpipes and never had to take the subframe down. Did my single turbo also didnt take my subframe down. Dont listen to every one that says you should, they don't know how to look around.
Put a jack to hold your motor, take the engine mounts out and have othe jack to hold your subframe and start loosening. Then just start threding one bolt on any side of subframe first then line the other side and install the bolts.
