stinger help
my stingers are a little off. one tip is just slightly lower than the other. I mean just barely but it bothers me. I think if I loosen the system I will never get it as close as it is now. Do you think it would hurt to bend them slightly to line up perfectly. I think if I push down on one and pull on the other I can get it perfect but I don't want to damage anything. Has anyone tried bending them slightly while on the car?

The flanges in front of the axle have elongated holes for the bolts. You can loosen the bolts and then adjust the up and down action of the Stingers. The clamps have some affect but not as much as the flange bolts. I found that just that little adjustment had a large affect on the tips. You should be able to get them perfect.

Re: stinger help (Hokie)
The Borla Stingers are one of the easiest exhausts to align. I would start by loosening the clamps and aligning, then retighten them. That should do the trick... you can go to the flange bolts if you can't get it with the clamps, but clamp area should give you all the play you need. The idea on the install is to make sure everything is strait before you tighten it up.

I had to re-align mine after install. All I did was loosen all clamps to move the exhaust around. Once I was happy, I just tightened them back up again. :cheers:
