I haven't noticed on my car, (stock exhaust) but on alot of other cars I've worked on if you follow the hanger up, you find a bolt or nut where you may be able to adjust it higher to take up some room. If it really bothered you, you could even open up the mounting hole (put a small slot in it) a bit to get it to slide where you want it.

I must say that it's louder than I anticipated. All the sound clip on youtube does not do it justice. You've GOT TO hear it in person if you haven't already.......

I know that the left side is about 2-3mm lower than the right but I'm not sure how to fix that. We've tried to adjust the left side a few times, but no luck. Anyway, I still like it though.

On with the pics!!

You could take a torch to the hangar, heat it, and then bend to align the exhaust accordingly. I had to do this with a borla cat back system, and the torch did the trick.

I had installed this exhaust a couple weeks ago. I installed the exhaust with all the fasteners loose and worked my way from the front to the back. Fits perfect on mine.
Does sound really good

This is what you should do. Don't mess with moving the hangars. Loosen all flanges, line it up, then tighten.

That's what my shop guy did.....I watched the whole process. He basically loosely tighten the system first to secure everything in place. Then he went over it again to tighten everything from the dp on back.......this is what we ended up with.....

Thanks for all the tips and comps!!

Sounds bad ass.....IMO

YouTube clips doesn't do it justice.

23K? ... 23h maybe
