3A tips installed

I got it this morning and installed it in 15 mins. Now that the tips are noticeably larger, I can see my passenger side muffler hangs lower than my drivers side, anyway to quick fix this? Here are the pics:

Sweet man. I've put a few tips on before. Pretty simple. I'd just take a few seconds and look over the screws on the right tip again and make sure they are all turned/adjusted evenly. Hold the tip with your left hand and position it perfectly and then screw with your right hand.
-P.S. I've got a NGM as well I don't see too many of them around where I live and not many modded one's on AZ.

Good eye! You're the first one to notice. Yeah the passenger side (right) tip I installed is a little bit crooked to the right, I will get that fixed in no time (I had my car inside the garage with the garage door closed, so I didnt have much space to work with.)

Yeah I got them online, I don't plan on getting the body kit tho. The bodykit is flush with the tips but without the rear lip, the tips look much stronger on its own. More attractive

btw, the goos thing about these tips is that they dont have "3A Racing" written on the top of the tip.

Yes. I agree with that.
IMO, it will look alright if you have WW rear under spoiler.

Nope not bugging me at all, but when you're rolling on the streets and you come to a stop, who the hell is gonna bother bending their head to look at the side anyways, its not noticeable until you kneel down to look at it, otherwise it looks good.

Yeah as INSPIREUA5 has said, you can get the WW rear lip to cover it up, but i'm not planning to get a kit at all.

Man...am I the only one who overtightens bolts?

I installed them this evening and kept turning until the threads on one of the bolts got damaged... Fortunately, all I ended up doing was taking it off and turning that specific bolt to where there were good threads and adjusted the other two (being careful not to overtighten them...)

I adjusted them to where they looked right from the exterior... I did not try to center the sleeve over the pipe precisely...

Anyway... Looks great!

It sucked getting the old exhaust tip off. Both the screws were rusted and they broke off.

No, they are for decoration purposes you don't lose or gain anything except the good looks.
