Yep. Still, it looks like the slant that the muffler hanger goes in is the issue, as well as the different hanger. I took some black Permatex gasket-maker and coated the inside of the grommets, and the outside of the hanger of the muffler and inserted it into the grommet. This should in theory fuze the hanger and the grommet with a flexible bond that will last the life of both.

Alignment is good WHEN THE HANGER IS IN THE GROMMET.

This should solve my problem, and if it doesn't, Berk is fabbing another hanger for the left (driver) side, and will do so for the (pass) side if need be.

I think the permatex is the solution. The grommets are $7 a piece and I ordered 2 from Berk. Worse comes to worse, the muffler section can be removed from the car and the grommets cut/burned off when/if replacement is necessary. No sweat.
