My 2J FMIC pipes have full beads on every single pipe or more correctly IC tubing. Also don't have the million weld joints these do.
It looks like the entire IC tube was already chopped and that doesn't look like the original tube anyway.

That charge pipe doesn't look right. It looks like the 2 or 2.25" end was chopped to make it sit lower for what purpose I can't tell, maybe the blow off valve/hood clearance, thus the bolt interference. If you look at the charge tube end there is a thin bare aluminum witness line on the edge. A powder coated charge tube will have overspray back into the inside and all edges will be painted, the OP can confirm this.

How 2J weld quality get's brought into this no idea as those pipes are painted. The 2J aluminum weld quality on mine looks good, mostly full penetration and more or less flat welds with no pinhole or evidence of burn-thru. Could be better but if it passes a pressure test and doesn't crack I'm good with it for what they are being used for.

Possibly 2J are hit/miss on part quality but this isn't the focus of this thread. The OP clearly has a chopped pipe and poor fitment. Solutions here are to possibly find a longer transition silicon hose adapter and chop the remaining tube off and use the weld bead as a hose bead. Or send it out to a welder and add a few weld beads around the perimeter for $30 and call it a day without making a big drama of the situation. Because there is zero information on the charge pipe supplier no one can say if it's a vendor issue or not. Those charge pipes don't look familiar.
