Maybe could be a tad higher, but not much. As close as it is, I would just live with what you already have.

Do you like them at this height? That is all that really matters. Mine are a little higher but I think they are fine.

Same here. Plus you can use a level to make sure they are both at the same distance. It might take a little adjustment here and there but once you have they look great. I have the 4 tip round.

They look a little low but match left-right. Only concern I heard about is having them too low could cause more resonance. If the sound is good and you like em, run em. Otherwise you may have to raise em up a little!!!!

I think you should just put them where they look good to you. If you leave them where they are now, it will bother you everytime you look at it.

[QUOTE=lvvette777]I finally got my exhaust put in after going back to Midas 3 times yesterday and determining they are a bunch of idiots my friend and I did it ourselves.

It was super easy and thanks to everyone who gave me the tips and tricks to get it done.

My question is do my tips look like they are sitting too low?? I didn't want to go too high because I didn't want the heat from the exhaust to damage the rear fascia. But now they look like they are just kind of hanging in outter space.

What do you guys think???


That's about where I had mine..

Couldnt get my quads to line up any better than this, but they are fairly close to the bumper and I have no heat issues at all.
