Default Borla tip alignment help

Had installed Borla straight pipes and noticed after the install that one side of the pipe tip is not really aligned with the other side. Has anyone else had this issue? If so is there any way I can fix this?

if they are like the GHLs I have, the tail pipes coming off the cans have clamps on them. Losen the clamp and adjust the pipe tips up or down. Then retighten. If you have the strap like clamps, throw them out and get regular $1.50 muffler clamps

loosen the camps at all the conections
take a 2x4 put i tunder the tips.
put a floor jack exactly in the center of the 2x4
jack up the 2x4 with a floor jack until it is where you want it.
tighten all the clamps
you are done...
