Default adjusting cat backs

Are the nuts that hold the H pipe to the cat backs do the adjusting. I could bring the back where I had them installed but if it's just the one nut on each pipe I think I can do them. Is there a distance from the bumper for height( up and down). Also one seems to stick out father then the other. So can these 2 problems be fixed with the one nut that holds the cat backs to the H pipe?

You need to loosen and re-adjust all 4 clamps (2 muff and 2 axle pipe). Twist, turn, push and pull until all tips are level then tighten all. Using a flat bar or board under the tips really helps.

Since you paid someone to install them, let them loosen clamps and tweek them until they are level and satisfactory to your eye.

Mine only had two clamps at the end of the mid pipe. I installed Corsa Sports and they were the same.
