It is possible that the headpipe was made for a Walsh 250r kit but I have never heard of it. It may also just be bent or you don't have it bolted to the head square. Anyways Ti pipes need to be bolted as stress free as possible. First bolt the headpipe flanges down then shim and space the frame mount to where ever it wants to be without bending it anywhere. That will break and crack it for sure. After the headpipe is on then mount the can and shimmed so it is also not forcing the pipe anywhere.
That pipe you have is so far off on the mount that if the can has to be mounted low as well and it will most likely hit the axle. Then its time to reform the header back to stock.

I fixed the mounting issue. I was able to get the exhaust bracket to line correctly with the bracket off the frame.
What I did to fix it was I loosened up all of the nuts that mount the pipe to the head. Once the pipe was loose I was able to line up the pipe and pass a bolt through the bracket. However, this caused the pipe to be a bit offset sitting at the head. I tightened up all the nuts at the head and the pipe seemed okay. It wasn't stressed or under much pressure. It just needed a little tlc.
