How straight is considered straight when putting these on?

I have them height wise within a 1/2" or so of each other and centered up pretty good.

I do notice that if I look down on them from the top of the bumper they are toe'd in a bit.Not sure how to make that any better.You can't tell from the rear but from a side shot I can see it and from up top also.

I'm not sure you could see it on duals.

On my quads the inside tips are more inset than the outside tips.Just barely but I can see from the top.

I was thinking I could loosen the band clamp at the mufflers and that would straighten them out but what will happen when tightening the clamp back up.The muffler pipe should only go on straight to other pipe.
