your Y-pipe is still loose? you should be able to line it up and then tighten everything down if thats the case, unless it is WAY off. then I suggest fabing some 1/4 thick pieces of steel to bolt into each end, hope this pic shows what I mean im a novice photoshopper
removed pic....

no the bolt holes on the flange are almost exactly 90 degrees off of the y pipes  but i have an idea that may work, remember the cat you gave me? well the bole holes peice on that rotated... so if i cut the little tab welds on this one, i should be able to rotate it and voila! but seeing as i get home around 10:30pm.. im not sure when i can make lots of noise... perhaps the basement..

Did you plug that small hole in the bottom of hte muffler? That hole is a water drain... something you definitely want there. A normal byproduct of combustion is H2O, and until your exhaust gets hot enough to keep it vaporized, you will get a lot of condensation in the exhaust. If it can't drain, it will rot the muffler from the inside.
