Not to get on the guy who did the install, but he did say he did it in his garage with limited space... It didn't look that misaligned to me eaither.

In person it is not noticeable at all, you would honestly have to look closely to tell. Because of the level where the picture was taken it stands out. It is an easy fix, if the piping was way off I could see it being an issue but it's not, it's more a product of how it mates with the stock hanger. Having worked with many different exhausts on different cars, I can tell you that alignment is a common task.

We made sure that both tips are aligned with each exhaust cap. Therefore it being symmetrical. If anything use of washers will extend each mufflers out. If you need anything let extra bolts are gaskets let me know. I'll have them sent over asap.

We take care of our customers...

Thanks, I'm going to just adjust the angle, people are blowing the photographs way out of proportion, in person it's maybe 1/8th of an inch off.

I'm sure angling the hanger will resolve the issue easily and quickly while properly securing the exhaust all at the same time. Thanks for the offer of help! You guys were excellent to deal with

I wasn't necessarily pointing out at you chris. Just from general pictures i've seen, and from Video that's been posted by ARK.

I do not doubt the quality and accuracy of the craftmanship from ARK
