Will adding some washers to the bracket help with the side-to-side alignment? I added some washers on the passenger side bracket during the install and it still looks okay now. Just a tad to the left of center.

Also, I did scrape the cans once on a row of bricks that were calling themselves a speed bump if that means anything.
We have recently noticed that "some" 2012+ models have a different driver side, rear OEM metal hanger. It is a single style bar vs. double. What that single style does, is allow the rubber portion of the hanger to shift outboard and by doing so, causes a misalignment of the driver side tip. A 1/2" shaft collar around the metal hanger will force the rubber to stay in it's proper location and the tip will stay aligned.

If you would like, give me a ring. We can get one in the mail for you.

Thanks.

-Tony

My car is a 2013, do I need one of these? If so, can you include one when you ship my exhaust? (Hopefully tomorrow)
