89 camaro 305 TBI to 350 TPI Exhaust question

I have an 89 iroc-z i just recently took out the 305 TBI and put in a 350 TPI from an 88-89 trans am. When i trying bolting up the y pipe from the 305 to the 350 only one side bolts up. What can i do to fix this?

If you have the 350 exhaust manifolds, they did not use the EFE valve that the TBI used on the passenger side. Is that the side that won't bolt up?

TBI exhaust chokes a 305. You really should upgrade the whole exhaust system. '86-'89 TPI exhaust, whether 305 or 350, was the same, so it should bolt up, and it should be an improvement over the TBI exhaust.

Okay, again assuming you're talking about the 350 passenger side exhaust manifold.

Either get TPI exhaust, or put your coffee-stirrer-sized 305 exhaust manifold on.
