I think I would like them more towards the center. But they look fine there also

Yes, move them in. They are too far apart.

I think the spacing of the tips looks fine.
Although it appears that they're a little crowded against the rear diffuser.
For that reason, I'd push them inward.

yea, I was thinking of pushing them inward. What's the best way to do this? Loosen the hangers and push?

I've tried figuring that out, but there is no serial numbers on the mufflers to find out. There is only patent numbers. The over axle pipes are in the right location though.

Gotcha. I'll bet this is what happened. Looks okay to me, as long as the tips don't rub on the diffuser, which looks like they don't.

The flowmaster logo on the mufflers are currently facing each other. Like if you were to look under the car, the Flowmaster logo is on the inside of the muffler. I wonder if the Flowmaster logo is suppose to be on the outside, like facing the rear tires.

if the over the axle pipes are right I would chage the mufflers, the rear supports
will determine where they end up!!

I'm trying to figure out for sure if they're in the correct spot or not. The instructions don't really help that much. They say there should be numbers on them, but there isn't.

I'm almost dead sure the mufflers need to be swapped,
call the manufacturer and describe the problem, they will help you!!
