My exhaust is level, it does look weird in the picture but they are level. I had to shim the passenger muffler down with 2 washers to get the tips even.

Do people get exhaust leeks when washers are used as shims?

If you use fennel, you don't notice the leeks so much.

Nice!

To answer... using washers as shims will not cause exhaust leaks at all.

Really, how so? I'm assuming the washers are put in between two flanges. Wouldn't that create a gab, thus allowing the exhaust to leak through.

Are there any pics describing this ad hoc fix?

I believe hes talking about using washers on the exhaust hangars to level the tips out. not using them between the flanges..

AAAaaahhh....ok....makes sense now. Adding washers to the hanger will raise the exhaust. I thought you guys were actually trying to tilt the angle of the exhaust by adding the washers to one end of the two connecting flanges....haha.

No, no, no! The washers are very thin and are used to space down the tip hanger from the body. They do not go in line of the exhaust system at all! In most cases you won't Even need them. The last 3-5 installs I have done did not require any adjusting...

Yup. If the X pipe is level 99% of the time the mufflers and tips line up perfectly even.
