Default B and B Rt. 66 alignment issues

I am the recent new owner of a 04 C5 corvette. The previous owner installed B and B Rt. 66 exhaust. The drivers side tip is lower than the passengers side. I have read several posts about people having issues with the hangers having some issues. Due to my work schedule I havent been able to crawl under the rear and take a real good look. It looks to be about 3/4's of an inch lower than the other. That being said , does it sound like I am the victim of the exhaust hangers or do I just need to tighten and re align ?

There are rubber hangers on the rear of the frame and they have two slots to hang the mufflers. Like so (=) the driver side maybe in the lower slot.

I ended up looking at it and the one that I thought was normal was actually high. I then put some pressure back on it and it evened out.

Mine does the same thing...the driver side is lower than the passenger side. So did you push down the passenger side?
