Finally installed my exhaust . . . (pics inside)

Well, I finally installed my HKS Superdraggers that I got over a week ago (there was minor mishap with UPS/seller that the seller graciously fixed). Love the sound-low rumble when on the throttle. Anyways, it was beautifull day here in central TX (hot, but nice), and finally cleaned the car, so here are some pics. . . .

Well, actually, they are Limited Edition Axis Seven Mods. I love them and get compliments on them all day long.
As far as the exhuast goes, I will take closer up pics later on today. When I first put them on, my left one was hanging a good two inches lower than the right!! So, after some creative modification, I got everything to hang perfectly even!

I had the SAME problem with mine, what did you do to fix it ? I am still pissed that mine won't sit right ?

EDIT: oh yeah and I fell ya on the B pipe issue. Those babies are mad expensive for some damn piping. It costs as much as the damn HKS mufflers cost new

A-I bent the heck out of both hangers-just a little bit at a time, then put it back, then bent some more, then put it back, then bent . . . .
You get my idea. It took a good 15 min. of bending and observing to get it to sit about right-I still don't think that it is perfect, but I don't think that it is going to get much better.

So what did you do to yours??

Car looks real nice.

Those HKS Superdraggers don't seem as big as i had thought. Very sharp looking.

Can't say cuase I have never heard the Greddy. There is some low end noise when cruising-I like it though. I have never heard the comptechs, so I can't compare.

So what did you do to yours??
Which hangers the ones on the car or the ones on the exhausts ?

Actually I had Derek (buddy who came to the meet with me) bend the hangers on the car. The damn left one still sits lower than the right, arg. I hate when things aren't aligned perfectly. I may just take it to a muffler shop and just tell them to make em perfect.

Yeah, they are 18's - if I had 19's I would demolish them in about a month! The roads in central Austin suck!!

Andy-we bent both the hangers on the car and on the exhaust. I will take pics tomorrow.
