Default Exhaust Pipes Wont Line Up?

Hey. I just installed a Magnaflow cat back system for my 1990 5.0 Lx. (Part #15630) When I got the system the hangers for the tail pipes where not the same size, and once I installed the system the tail pipes don't line up together at all. DidMagnaflow send me the wrong hangers or amI doing something wrong?The drivers side droops down and the passanger side is very close to the bumper. I've switched the the hangers to the other side of the rear end but the same problem occurs just on the other side. Any suggestions as to what I could do to fix this? Thanks for your time.

Chef

Well since we can't see what you have, it's hard to say if you got the right stuff.

hmm, i have seen severeal Magnaflow Catbacks that dont line up well at all. Do you have a custom midpipe? I'd try loosening everything up and moving it around to see if u can get it where you want it, then tighten it all down.
