ark install
 
After installing this exhaust system on my car I noticed that the passenger side muffler can is lower than the driver side. Also it is rubbing against the crossmember from the X in Y pipe to the down pipes that connect to the mufflers. Does anybody have any tips for remedying this problem?

Loosen up all of the bolts and jack up on center section with floor jack. Start tightening from the cats back to the rear, that should fix your crossmember problem. The passenger side piping does hang a little lower but you can rotate your canister then tighten up the rear sections at the flange to even them out.

I noticed on a youtube video that the hangers were on the bottom rather than how i have it which it on top. If i switch it and am able to mount up to the mufflers that should give the exhaust 2.5 inches up which will in theory "support or lift" the x pipe as well. Is there any specific way that the hangers need to be on the pipe from x to mufflers?

Exhaust now clears the center crossmember of car, now I just have to figure out how to adjust the passenger side can so that it appears to even out! Any and ALL input would be greatly appreciated. thankx!

Main thing here is the jack up the midpipe and bolt it down while its jacked. You can use three points for reference in symmetry. The tip location, dual chambers, and flange.
