Driver side sticks out more then the passenger side. They over charged me on the shipping by $25 us. Gave me a $100 US refund for my troubles. Should have bought AAM.
Sucks to hear you had an issue but I bought Beluga Axels backs for my 18 Nismo and the fit was perfect. Nissan put in a removable drivers side inner exhaust hanger plate. It's an extension plate with a single bolt that is needed to hang the stock Nissan HKS muffler. This plate has to come off to fit the Beluga Axel Backs. Once off you just bolt the new exhaust on and it fits and looks factory. I was impressed with the finish and fit of the Beluga exhaust. What I didn't like was the drone inside. It was unbearable, to me. Also, my seat, shifter and foot pedals were vibrating. I drove the car for 20 minutes and had to remove it and put the stock muffler back on.

My Beluga axle backs were good to go! I put them on to my 2018 Sport Tech. At first, I did have fitment issues, with the pipes getting to close to the diffuser on both sides towards the inside (license plate). However, I fixed that by putting 4 to 5 washers on each side on one of the three bolts. They look great and I like the sound. My wife thinks it sounds like an older car but understands that a man needs to have a manly sound! It also beats the loud road noise that these cars have. Nothing rattles and if there is any drone, it's hard to hear it over the loud radio. Well worth it!
