Boom Tubes installed, NOW aligned PERFECT!!! (updated pics)
 

I installed a set of Boom Tubes to my otherwise stock exhaust in the garage yesterday. It took some getting used to as they are quite a bit louder then stock. I thought I might have overdone it for my taste. But... I also had a headache yesterday. Today I drove it and it seems quieter and just about right. I was thinking about the Violators but I think I'm going to really grow to love these.

I got them from Brenspeed and one of their installers said that I might have to adjust the over the axle pipe to get it just right. Well, I'm only willing to lift up the back and I wasn't gonna crawl all that way forward and try and do it myself. This is the best I could get it:

Left side looks good, but right side is just a little lower...

Left side does not stick out as far as the right.

I like the right side better as far as sticking out a little more.

I love the tube design.

Tomorrow I'm bringing it to a muffler shop. He said he'd charge me $20-25 to align them perfectly. Worth it to me...

The s197 axle back set up is hard to get perfect, the are rarely even lined up perfect from the factory!!

i was gonna ask others on here with custom axle backs howeven theirs came out...

this guy is supposed to be good, it is pretty muchall he does, so we will see what happens. if he can not get it then i will not worry about it anymore. it is not that bad, but i see it!

Guarantee all that guy is going to do is stick a large medal rod inside the tip and bend it to straighten up...easiest and quickest way and you can do it yourself.

My left boomtube didn't line up, had to loosen the mid pipe to rotate/twist just a bit while someone watched, got them both lined up perfectly in 20 min of fiddling

in my best austin powers voice...

i don't have a large rod... atleast not a metal one, baby!!



and if i did, i don't think i could do it. if i tried i'd screw it up one way or another! i'll post on here what he does, if i can watch.

My passenger side tube was lower than the driver's side after install. I still haven't fixed it yet. Not quite as bad as yours though.

You could also bend the hangers on the tubes if you wanted. As far as one sticking out further than the other you'll probably have to loosen up the midpipe and play around with it.

$25 isn't to bad just to have someone else screw with it though.

Could'nt doing that mess up the special lining of the boomtubes considering they have those things built in them
to be less raspy and make a little back flow?
