Default Exhaust install question

Installed the FRPP/Borla stinger. Sounds great but tips will not line up. Can you loosen the midpipe and make any adjustment there? What did you guys do to get the tips right?

I had to bend the hangers on the mufflers themselves but the drivers side still sits a little off, I'll be fixing that this summer.

I installed the Corsa axle backs and mine were off too. I tried to adjust at the midpipe but it didn't work out that well. It helped one side but not much. It's not noticable unless you're eye level and looking for it. I figured if it ever really gets to me i'll take it to a shop and have them adjust it on a lift. It's a real pain to make the adjustments with the car on jacks.

Anyway, yes, you should try and adjust at the midpipe and see if that helps.

Just bend the hanger rods. It's normal to have to adjust it.

Do you have any sound clips of your car before and after you installed the Corsa's? I'm very close to buying them. Any drone?
Thanks

I took mine to a Meineke muffler shop to have the install done. The manager is a big Mustang fan so he made sure everything lined up perfectly. I have the Borla cat-back system with the S-type mufflers. It cost me $70.00, but was well worth it.
