Need help with new exhaust

Mine was uneven too. What you'll notice is that the last pair of flanges where the mufflers bolt to the midpipe have a bit of slack. What I mean by this is that after removing the two screws, you can move the flanges around with respect to each other, since the bolt hole are rather wide.

It turned out that the flanges were not perfectly aligned during the install in my case, so I simply loosened both of them, lined it up as best I could and snugged them down. After that, they were pretty well aligned. Maybe not perfect, but you would have to deliberately look for any type of mismatch between the two tips.

As for the angle, loosen the connecting bolts and/or rubber hangers and see if that helps. If you can get it to the right angle, but then after some flexing it moves, try getting a clamp ring and tighten it down on the rubber hanger to prevent it from moving...

You think an OEM gasket will do just fine just like berk?

I'll try this as soon as I can.. Hopefully the same day as dyno.
