Swear to god every time I look at it, it changes position. Put in test pipes which changed where they hang compared to just a cat back. Adjusted many times, do they look even to you?

Hmm...the mufflers seem to be rotated in such a manner that the outer exhaust tips appear to 'sag' lower than their inner counterparts. On the bright side, either side is symmetrical with the other. TBH it's nothing to worry about.

Mine look the same thanks to the crappy fitment of the Megan test pipes effecting everything from them back.

Yah I put up some 2nd hand specialty Z test pipes w/ flex pipes. The driver side Xpipe to test pipe connection was short by around a half inch so I had to jam up 2 of those thicker type metal gaskets and the bolts pulled it together. Didn't have issues with just a catback.

Yeah I had a similar issue but once I tightened them down everything came together. I still have to adjust the mounts so that the exhaust tips sit even.

I have similar issue with unknown (probably megan) test pipes, random mids and then megan racing catback. I haven't had a chance to really attack it yet though. Mine's only really an issue on the drivers side.

New exhaust hangers would probably help. They make polyurethane ones as well

Doesn't look far off to me. Someone would have to really look to see that it isn't right. And as I'm sure you have a hot blond with you at all times (you got a Z right?) then no one will notice your exhaust. :)
