Adjusting FI exhaust tips
 
I just installed a FI CBE and my right side tips are sitting too high and in some. Almost no gap with the bumper. The left side looks just right. I also noticed that one tip sticks out further than the other. So the right side sits in more than the left. So I want to lower the right side, and get the tip to stick out a little. How can I do this? Do I need to loosen the whole cat back and try to tighten it back again? I did try to do this with both muffler sections to the H pipe and it did nothing, so I am thinking the problem might be from the cats to the H pipe? Or do I just need to add washers and or bend the metal hangers or bracket itself? I really don't think it's the FI CBE as my previous exhaust did the same exact thing. So I think it might just be my car or the HFC's might be throwing things off...

ok, try this, it works better than any other way and is mad adjustable! take the hanger off, put a spacer/washer about 2-3mm thick between the inside hanger hole (whatever side is off) and the frame. screw in the inside bolt just snug for now. Now tighten down the 2 outside bolts until the tip is perfectly aligned and tighten the inside bolt. this way allows you to leverage the tips up and down either way the tip is aligned. make sense?

I used 2 washers per side on the hanger bolts to get mine just right, can be different on each install though.

added 3 washers per bolt and it looks great now!

or you could bend the hangers a bit until it lines up right, had to do that with my exhaust pipes.
