However, I cant help but notice the difference in the bends of the muffler pipe section between the end of the mid pipe and the beginning of the muffler.

Wow thats a lot worse than I expected it to be. So is it more of a defective batch or perhaps mid pipes from a different application?

I had the same problem but it just needed to be re-aligned. I love the exhaust, sound and looks but its still a bit low. Only way I'd change it though if it was completely damaged.

Ive tried re-aligning the CBE every way possible and actually have the passenger side muffler adjusted as high as it can go but its still way off. I do love the look and sound of the exhaust but I just wish it would fit correctly.

Wish I knew Glokwork, but apparently I am not the only person with this problem. Since starting this post there are a few others who recently purchased this CBE and are having the same problem. My only guess is that its a defective batch.
