Misaligned Exhaust ... Stock Exhaust?

Hi all,

I had a quick request ... Do you guys with 2012 tl and up mind looking at ur exhaust tips and letting me know if they line up ... For some reason my right one seems significantly lower than the left

Car was never in an accident so I was wondering if it was like that for everyone or if my car has an issue I need to address with the dealer

My exhaust lines up properly. Yours could just be a little loose, I'm sure it's nothing big.

My passenger side exhaust tip hangs a little lower than the right side. Seems to be pretty common.

It looks pretty bad and now that I know it's there I can't stop looking at it. I almost want to have the dealer adjust it but I feel like they may make it worse ... Is this a pretty straightforward adjustment for anyone who has had it adjusted?

VQPower....Mine is a "little" off as well but nothing to take to the dealer on my end. I am not sure how bad yours is....I am pretty picky so the fact I let mine as is demonstrates that mine isn't overly crooked.

Keep us posted....Also, if you had pics, it would help us see how bad yours is.

Look under the car. Mine was lower on one side (2009) and the exhaust was off the hanger (rubber mount).

That right one does look quite a bit off line. You may want to have the dealer look at it.

^ O man, thanks for your response I was changing my differential fluid yesterday and noticed it and was afraid I would have to take it to the dealer. Maybe during my next service visit I will have them take a look at it hopefully they dont have to do to much to get the exhaust to line up properly

Yours is bad enough that I would have the dealer take a look at it. It would drive me nuts too. Keep us posted.

Somebody might have backed it over a curb or something, are there scratch marks on the bottom of the muffler?

Thanks guys for the responses, I will have the dealer take a look at it during the next service visit or maybe sooner if I get a chance. I appreciate everyone's input and will report back after its fixed in case anyone is curious or if it helps anyone in the future

VQPower....I know you have already decided to take it to the dealer.....let me just say that I concur with you 100%!! Your exhaust tip on the passenger side is really off...and that would definitely take me to the dealership.

Thanks for taking the time to post the pics....and darn you made me envious! You should see the amount of snow we have on the ground here
