Uneven mufflers annoy me - HELP

So my type quads are uneven, which is VERY annoying to me. They're even in the sense that the left one is lowered, but the right one is almost touching the black part, kinda like a seesaw. I think this became noticeable when I installed the j-pipe and I'm guessing it was from taking the third cat off and the piping was laying down touching the ground. I checked from the back to check the hangers and it looks like they're on. Anybody else have this problem? BTW I've seen other type s' around my city/neighborhood and I've seen at least 3 with the same exact problem. Except they look stock so I don't know if me replacing the j-pipe has anything to do with it. Thanks in advance guiseeeeeeeee

hangers just probably need to be readjusted.

like above, it could be as simple as re-adjusting the hangars.
or if thats not working out, cut out the piece and re-weld it to make it straight.
Radar is awesome.

"red light approaching"
and I fucking ran it.

Large channel locks work perfect when adjusting exhaust hangers.

Did the flange on the jpipe line up with the catback flange? You said it got worse after it was installed. Was it twisted before you put it on? Also check the mufflers and tailpipes for gouges. You don't say if you are the original owner but that will tell you if it was slammed by someone.

Well, I know the OG owner, and he was on springs. I think after I slammed it, it was noticeable, and after the jpipe install, it was quite noticeable. I'm going to take it to my friends muffler shop soon, I'll update for the interested ones.
