Default Borla Stinger Question

I just had the 2 tip stingers installed and the right side hangs a tad bit lower than the left. I have seen other pics on the forum where members cars have the same issue, is there a fix or am i stuck with it?

Loosen everything up and re-align, THEN tack weld each section so nothing moves. If possible, take the time to weld everything up completely.

If I recall correctly, you can loosen one of the band clamps and rotate the pipe so that the exhaust tip will move up or down. I have quads, but the principle should be the same.

place a 2x4 under and across the two tips.
Put a floor jack under the 2x4...( center the jack so it lifts the two tips evenly) gently lift until the tips are JUST supported...
loosen the clamps, lift a touch more... re- tighten the clamps, release the jack.... crack open the beer

Now that's a great tip, especially the last part.
