Did you try to adjust the muffler to a different position where it goes on to the midpipe first before you bent the rod?
Ya, I messed with that thing for a few hours. The tip sat to the left. It's dead center now though.

how would you be able to readjust it if the muffler hangs by its hangers in a fixed position?

my mother is concerned that if i somehow incorrectly install my gt takeoff muffler, it will lead to carbon monoxcide poisoning inside my car. can somebody clear this up for her? i am going to let her read this entire thread to calm her fears.
thanks for any help, chris

If you tighten down the clamps well then there should be no problem .If there's any leaks you will be able to feel the exhaust escaping as you run your hand along the joints but if the clamps are tightened I dought there are any leaks .I had no problem with mine

Mine were clamped on as well. The shop did that way in case I wanted ever wanted to convert back to stock.
