Scorpion Centre pipe to short to fit 2005 STI with PPP??

Hi, I have just tried to fit a Scorpion centre pipe to my UK 2005 STI, But it seems to be about an inch or so short, The car has the PPP,
It is making the back box pipe foul the rear subframe and the hangers do not line up,
Has anyone else experienced this and how did you overcome it?

Thanks in advance.

I think its the actual pipe that has been made wrong as i bought it brand new today from Roadrunner, Unless it is because of the wider track/wheelbase on 05 cars?

It sounds more like a build issue, the classics and JDM downpipes were about 10cm shorter iirc so I can't see it being that
