Fast Intentions exhaust is here!

So I got my exhaust installed this morning and let me first say that it sounds BEAUTIFUL. Beyond my expectations and sound clips on YouTube do not do this thing

Unhappy Installed... Slightly Misaligned

So I got my exhaust installed this morning and let me first say that it sounds BEAUTIFUL. Beyond my expectations and sound clips on YouTube do not do this thing justice. Nice job, Tony!!!


I've got a slight alignment issue.
Despite my mechanic's best efforts and two tries at loosening everything up and trying to get it right, my driver side tip is a little close to the bodywork for my tastes.

I'm guessing I need the washers that I've heard mentioned a few times in this thread? What size washers do I use and where do they go?




Thanks.

Thanks.
This following message was just sent in a PM:

It looks like the driver side muffler needs to be loosened and then rotated in slightly. After that, you will see a hanger in the back that is right above the tip. The washers go there. There are 3 bolts. You will need to shim it down evenly. Here is the deal though, the back of the x pipe needs to be level to the earth when it is tightened. If it is not this could be throwing the alignment off. I just installed a system yesterday with no issues. It has been a long time since we had to shim a tip. If you mechanic needs pointers please do not hesitate to call me directly. I can give him a few tips that will eliminate this issue...

Thanks, Tony

We are working on it right now. I will do my best to have it in transit today. If not worst case scenario Monday. Remember, we are closed tomorrow. I appreciate the patience just a little longer. You will have it in hand next week.
