I have a full Kooks system (headers, high-flow cats, x-pipes and cat-back), and now that it's installed I can't seem to get the tips to line up. Both are centered in their respective holes, but the passenger side always seems to stick out about an 1" further than the driver's side. I like where the driver's side sits, so I'm trying to get the passenger side pushed in to match. Is it even possible without cutting?

Can you loosen up your passenger side frame fasteners and the pipes a bit. Had the same issue with SW retro chamber cat back and was able to push one of the slide on connections forward to get the tips lined up length wise.
