::EDIT::Sorry... the thread name was supposed to be Nismo catback for a/c NOT straight~

Hello. I installed my nismo catback couple days ago. I think I did everything right but the exhaust tips dont line up with rear bumper nicely. Looks like it's leaning slightly to the right (Passenger side). I'm going to lift my car again and inspect it this weekend. Any ideas what I can do? I tried moving the rear section of exhaust by hand but just goes back to right.,

What can I do to the hangers to fix it? I noticed that 2 left side hanger just hangs... but the right side looks square... can I move one and adjust the mufflers?

I have the Nismo catback on my A/C also and when it was first installed it all lined up really nicely. But now after over a month the tips don't line up exactly (the left tip is a little (as in maybe 1/2") lower than the right, and it sticks out maybe 1/2" more than the right. I've checked all the bolts and tried adjusting the hangers, but it's still off some. You don't really notice it unless you're looking for it, but it still annoys me. It must have warped some with the heat or something.. So, needless to say, I have the same issue, but haven't figured out how to fix it.

Nope. never scraped. My exhaust has been like this since I got it on. Yeah I looks like the left side is lower just by looking... but after measuring, it's not. I think it just looks that way b/c it's leaning right. Ehh I learn to live with it. You cant tell if you dont look for it. Looks great though when you just glance at the back

my right side appears to be lower but i measured and it wasnt either. i can read nismo when squating on the right but can only read SMO from the other side
