Well, here is the problem I see from the pictures. It looks like the EVAP canister cover was never removed. I can see what looks like it in the picture above. What that tells me is whoever installed the exhaust system did not read the instructions that we sent with it! The cover needs to come off to allow the passenger side muffler to sit correctly.

Call me if you have any questions on this or anything else pertaining to the install.

Thanks, Tony

Hey tony just reporting back, I saw Speedy Garages video on youtube installing a F.I exhaust system and yes the evap canister is remove....I believe I have to add washers so it can level out because both tips are touching. Only thing I need to know is what size of washers or if anyone can direct me to a thread explaining this would Great and Appreciated!

Before you start adding anything, go through the instructions and make sure the exhaust is installed right. You should not need the washers. Like I said before, I installed 2 last week and an average of 4-6 per month. VERY RARELY do I ever need washers!

Thanks, Tony

Hey tony just giving you a finishing update, I followed the instructions and everything was up to par so my educated guess was correct and I added 2 washers on each bolt on both sides and now everything is leveled, thank you so man. On a side note thanks to the douchebag that installed my exhaust it burned a little of my bumper and some plastic stuck on the left side tip I took it off and cleaned as much as I could and I went and complained like seriously you have an INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL, I didn't do it myself cuz I didn't have the tools or lifters but you can bet I bought some like a few minutes ago lol.

Glad you got it taken care of, but sorry for the damage done to your bumper. I would definitely avoid this shop in the future, it is pretty hard to mess this install with how perfect everything fits with little to no massaging.

That's EXACTLY what I told them everything is there to install and I didn't have the tools or jacks stands to Do It Myself so I decided to rather pay and have It installed but its like they always say "If you want something done right you got to do it yourself". But now I'm a happy camper and that's all that matters, Grinning for Days with my Setup!
