I do now that i put new exhaust on. They could probably bend the hangers a bit to make them straighten out.

Yeah darrin just take it in and they should be able to straighten it out with a pry bar.

yah my CT exhaust doesnt hang straight. I tried to fix it myself but no luck. Jens went at it with a prybar and its STRAIGHTER, but not as straight as my stock ones were.

My stockers were eneven = Dealer replaced divers side (which was hanging lower). Then I bought Zootking's Thermal R&D's, had them installed, perfectly straight, then installed OBX headers and back to uneven . I need to get back to the muffler shop, they said they can adjust the hangers

You're kidding right darrin? This was an issue 3 years ago.......

That's okay though. I didn't notice the A C U R A was crooked on the rear of my car until a week before I turned it in.

In China, they call it the Wun Hun Lo syndrome. Don't worry, it is not fatal.

the left hangs lower than the right on my car. I tried to have the dealer fix it, but they didn't do much.

Its something ill have to live with I guess.

Actually, this was a topic long time ago...

Quick fix. Get some metal hose clamps, go under the car and clamp the the cat back ... I never bothered with it as it does not bother me...

mine is a little different .. the tips are the same distance from the bottom of the bumper, but it appears like my drivers side MUFFLER itself .. is tilted downward to the left. where as the passenger sits literally PERFECT. will try to take pic.
