Umm, no.They are very crooked.Run it up to an exhaust shop and $20 they will put it on the lift and finish it right.

Its already been to the muffler shop. So I could bring it home and die grind there tack welds because they werent even close. Unless youve ever installed a set of these your remarks are unwanted and unwelcome. Yea there off buy less than a 1/4 of an inch but they are not "very" crooked........
