Exausts shifted after header Install WTF!?!

Now that I finally had my headers installed, I noticed today, walking to my car from the rear, that my left (driver) exhaust is hanging noticably lower than the right. WTF ?
This is something I had fixed by dealer when I had the stockers. Now, with the Thermal R&D's c/o Zootking, I specified to the installer that they are to be aligned evenly, and they were, and up until today they remained so.
I took the car bakc to the Exhaust shop today (didn't mention the headers to him) and the guy looked and said it could be a loosened rubber hanger, said he could take care of it. I didn't have time to have it done today.

Anyone with any comments on this ?

that's pretty normal. Just pull the one up or push the other down and check the hangers

Normal as in general, or as in after header install ?

Wish the dealer would have done that when the stockies were sagging, they kept it all damn day, and ordered a new muffler.
