Default Exhaust issue

I put the Diamond Eye 4" setup on my truck and have nothing but problems with the tailpipe section mainly. The hump pipe won't work because of my gooseneck and it has to be tilted ~45 deg to fit and won't stay tight, put in a straight piece over the axle and it gets rubbed by the diff causing the tailpipe to turn and drop and won't stay tight. I've tried locktite on the clamps, torque wrench the nuts, impacts, new nuts, etc and nothing wants to stay tight. My only thoughts are either put in elbows and make it dump in front of the tire or run a single 6" stack. Neither option thrills me because in front of the tire looks incomplete and the stack requires a diffrent toolbox, moving my antennas and I'm not sure about the look due to the shortbed. Any advice would be great or pics of CC short beds with stacks (my search turned up few). I plan on bigger tanks so I'm thinking the pipe needs to be moved anyways.

Hmm. It's tough to tell in the pics but can it be moved to the passenger side any more away from the diff?

Nope I had it held over when I put together and it's chained to the frame by the tranny to keep it off the lines, I think I'm going to dump it straight down before the axle until I can get stacks since I'm wanting bigger tanks or if I like it that way I'll leave it. My only thinking is that the truck had the dual exhaust and since the PO screwed up the hangers and pipe I went with the single when I fixed it.
