Anyways.. My dilemma is.. I drove away without checking the alignment of the exhaust tips. The left tip is peeking out more than the other while the right is pointing a little more outboard (to the right). I don't have pics taken.. It's too late at night. I'll snap pics when I can.

Any help would be appreciated. I'm really hoping to find easy fix and not have to go back to the shop.

PS: loosening the bolts and pushing up the x-pipe will give 1/4 inch clearance from the crossmember. No vibrations yet
I would suggest getting yourself a few extra exhaust gaskets, and try putting another one on the right side to cause that tip to come out a bit further.

As for the angle, loosen the connecting bolts and/or rubber hangers and see if that helps. If you can get it to the right angle, but then after some flexing it moves, try getting a clamp ring and tighten it down on the rubber hanger to prevent it from moving...
