When you guys install, are they in the middle of the cut-out?

Cause mine aren't and I have re-installed them twice and have tried to move them to the center...

All aftermarket exhausts are a pain in the dick to get lined up right. I'm on my 3rd axleback and everyone of them were a pain. Easy to install though.

I started with SLP Loudmouths which I loved, but I wanted to get a little more power so I added an O/R H-pipe and it was WAY too loud. I traded the LM's for Flowmasters which sounded great outside the car but made me want to shoot myself because of the trumpeting that you here inside the car. MY current setup is the SLP Powerflo's with the O/R H and it sounds great, loud but has a very clean sound inside the car. I just posted a couple vids in your Official exhaust thread, check them out!

Just bend the hangers where you need to, took me about 3 tries till I got it right. My left side was the worst as well.
