Hey Tony,

Thanks for your reply. I have one other question. When I got the exhaust on, the tips seems aligned fine. But now after driving for a couple weeks, it looks like one is sitting lower than the other, but both seem to sit a little low to me. is there a way to get these to sit higher towards the bumper and to be aligned?

Or if anyone has an idea of how i can get the tips to sit closer to the bumper? seems like they are hanging almost an inch lower than it and kinda looks like they are pointing down a little... maybe its my eyes haha.

Have you re-checked that the bolts at all of the flanges are still torqued down good, as well as the ones for the hangars right by the outlets?

no i havent but thats on my list but i dont think thats it really. i pulled on the can i little and its pretty solid... the driver's side sits well, and im happy with that. The passenger side sits lower that the drivers. Id much rather raise the passenger side than lower the drivers to have them match up...

lol, im starting to think im just paranoid about it and its not as far away from the bumper as im making it sound lol. maybe ill just shim the one thats higher and see how it looks. ive heard other ideas to raise the cans by putting hose clamps around the hangers and tightening.. apparently it will pull the exhaust can upward...

Assuming nothing came loose, (and forgive me if this seems obvious, but I never know what people already know around here), did you line everything up before torquing everything on the install? With things like this, I always bolt everything together loosely first and get it lined up perfectly, and then snug all the bolts in the system at the same time. If you instead torque everything down as you go while installing the bits, things tend to not sit right.
