Hi

I installed the GM Performance axle back mufflers. The driver's side installed well with the embossed bow tie at the top of the chrome tip is pretty square in the center. I had trouble with the passenger side, it is a little cocked to the right. I tried adjusting the mounts pushing the hangers in and out, but no luck. I cut both pipes the recommended 59 mm from the original muffler seam. No big deal but I am a little annal when it comes to details like this. Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Bob

I think when I had mine installed one of them was facing say 11 o'clock.

Yes that is the way this is, only mine is at 1 O'Clock . I could push/pull the tips under more so the bow ties don't show. But I read if the tips are too far back you risk melting the plastic on the diffuser.
Right now my tips are 4.25 inches from the bottom of the diffuser to the edge of the tip.

Thanks
