IMHO, I would by several 90 degree elbows and put in a bend in the replacement pipe so that you can squeeze the replacement in to the section of the existing pipe. The other option is the black flexible pipe, if you can get the correct size.
Hope this helps.
Good Suggestion... yes the problem is the pipe being so substandard looks like about 4 ft of digging just to stand a chance.

In thr mean time I'm going to go buy a sprinkler before I have to replace the new sod
