Installed headers....now my cat backs are hanging weird!!
I installed some LG LTs the other day and after words I noticed that my exhaust tips were very un-even. I'm assuming that the way the x-pipe bolts up that it pushed the cat backs out of line or something. So what can I do to fix it and is this typical?

Your still killing me. 
Get a piece of wood and a floor jack, loosen the pipes where they need to be loosened. You should be able to tell. Jack up the piece of wood under the tailpipes and then tighten everything back up. You should also re-tighten after a few heat cycles.

you need to loosen up EVERYTHING, including the headers if you cannot get them straight. Get the tips close to where you want them w/ jack stands and a 2x4 holding them level and work your way towards the front tightening things.
