no i've known they were like that ever since i installed them. a lot of people have had that issue with the first gen XLR8 exhausts.

not much you can do because you can't bend the muffler piping enough to make it straight. oh well

Making the exhaust hangers higher or lower on one side won't fix that?

Looks like the passenger side muffler needs to be clocked a few degrees. Moving the hanger won't fix it, it'll only raise/lower the whole thing.

Maybe unbolt the mufflers from the y-pipe, readjust, then tighten them down?

yeah i tried that when i first installed them and realized they were off center. there is no room to twist/bend/nothing. i gave up after 45 mins of trying

the guy i got it from had the same issues.

Cars look great aswell as the pics.

What brand hood do you have on your car fitment looks kinda sketchy.

I'm really liking the look of those rims+stretch+fitment. And honestly I usually don't like the black/black/black/black/black look but your car...is something different

LOVE the puddle lamps. One of my favorite mods that I've done to my car...I'm surprised more aziners haven't installed them. and the USR sidemarkers in white compliment them SO WELL.

Here's mine; but enough whoring.

Your car looks pretty stupid at that height. You bought coilovers, so use them, it's the rules to max them out, lay that bitch on the subframe.

i like the deep concave in the rear...helps with the staggered look. it's a 9.5" wheel vs 9" wheel up front.

they're both concave, but the rear wheel is wider (thus the deeper look). plus i didn't want to try and force a 9.5" wheel up front...i rub enough as is.

i think in person it looks right. but thanks for your opinion man! always happy to hear criticism.
