It's not just the tip itself but the canister. In every installed pictures, it looks like passenger side canister is always sitting lower than that of driver's side..

Can SOMEBODY post pictures of it and show me that it is possible to align them on exact/near exact height left and right? Symmetry is beautiful.

GAH....!!!!!!!

I think it's something with the exhaust design however, it doesn't stand out as much as you'd think. I will mess with it this weekend, I think a shorter hanger will do the trick. If I figure it out I'll post up the exact solution, my guess is that this will be an easy fix by either replacing the rubber holder with a shorter one or angling the hanger (the one that bolts to the car) further to the right) I mainly wanted to get it installed today so I still have to go back through and check over everything.

The exhaust sounds so good and the car must be adjusting the ECU because it is driving a bit smoother and does feel a bit faster.

Not sure what to tell you but I am very happy with it but, I'm not into cosmetics as much as I am into actual performance so to each their own. The alignment should be an easy fix...again I'll post up what I figure out.
