When I installed mine I found that there are two slots in the hanger. One was high one was low. Did them both in the top slot. Hope that helps.

Good luck

determine the reason they're uneven and correct it....... i don't mean to sound like a smart a**. start from the h-hipe and work your way back. pull the pipes, apply a little heat, and adjust where/as needed.
and the mufflers uneven? (over axle pipes need adjustment).... are the mufflers even? (tips need adjustment)

That's why I asked of the exhaust had ever been removed.
If all else fails; there is a high-tech method for making them level. Determine which two tips are higher, place
foot firmly on top of that specific sides pair, apply pressure downward.
