Angry Left exhaust tip not levelled

After having my TSX for 74 days now, and I have to say that I don't have any major complaint about the car until now.
I guess I was one of the fortunate ones that didn't have the rattling issue, and some of the other ones mentioned on the forum.
The thing that I've noticed and was wondering whether it was normal, is the exhaust tips not being levelled to each other.
The left is noticeably lower, and points in a slight downward angle, compared to the one to the right.

I've checked two other TSX's and the same thing exist.

Is it only me? or is it bothering some of you fellow owners too?

I'm definitely going to ask if there is something that they can do at my first oil change in a few weeks.

Thanks for reading my ranting...

I have noticed the same thing, my wife thinks I'm insane.

When you actually measure it it seems to be less than 1/2 and inch in difference

I suppose you could just kick each one until they were even but that might not be the best way to go. I saw a friend do that in high school once, but that was not on a $25-30k car either

I noticed the same thing when I bought my TSX. But when the dealer added the OEM-ground effects It came with exhaust tips. They are both 11 inches from the ground.

I don't know if the dealer fixed it or the exhaust tips just make them look even.

I concur

I concur.

My left exhaust is slightly lower than my right one, as well. I haven't measured it yet, but I would measure the distance from the top of each exhaust to the bottom of the molding, and then measure the bottom of the ground to the bottom of the exhaust. Either the ground isn't level, the exhausts (or exhaust tips...good point ortiz) are slightly crooked, or your body is a little lopsided. :P In that case I would drink a V8.

How about measuring the exhausts with the tips removed?

Mine too. It took me over a month to notice. At first, I thought I might have hit something or some punk kicked it. But I checked out the photos I took the first week, and sure enough, the left one appears almost an inch lower. It bugs a little, but I'm OK with it.

I'll bet a lot of TSXers are gonna notice theirs for the first time, after reading this thread.:P
