Exhaust pipes uneven?

I noticed that my passenger side tail pipe is lower that the driver side tailpipe. Anyone else had this experience?

nope. ive been to acura dealer and havent seen any tail pipe clearance issues.. maybe its just your car.... have an exhaust shop check the undercarrage of the car to see if anything is damage. or have them adjust it.

i have heard of this before, mine are off just slightly as well....probably less then 1/8"...i would be willing to bet that everyones is the same, you just dont notice it until you actually go out and measure it or do like i did, while cleaning the car, i but my fingers between the exhaust tip and bumper, and i can feel the difference....

Mine is a little lower on the left. Not enough for me to pursue it at the dealership but enough to notice if you are detail oriented.

Same here, maybe an 1/8th of an inch off. I hadn't noticed until someone else here brought it up. Think I'll wait for the wife to back it into something before I bother to get it fixed.

My passenger side is lower as well, but only a hair. Stuff like that drives me nuts, being crazy about cars. I try to forget about it since it's so slight, but now seeing this thread, it bothers me again.

Mine are the same height but my driver's side is slanted more then passenger. I just live with it, as the dealer made a fuss about fixing it.

My new 2014 SHAWD Advance has same issue where passenger side is lower 1/2 inch. Difference more noticeable on a white car. It bothered me so used zip tie right behind hanger bushing to snug it up. Raise tip to desired position and tighten zip tie. Now even!

On mine, the passenger side was hanging a little bit lower.
Crawled underneath the car and played around with the exhaust rubber hanger (not sure if this is the right term) and done.
Took 5 minutes to even them out.
