Exhaust Hanger Question
Trying get ready to install or have my Borla installed and had a tailpipe "hanger" question. Pretty much a cosmetic concern.
1 or 2 hangers on the right side are not as straight as the others and was wondering how hard it is to straighten them up. Can they be bent a little without the possibilty of popping the weld or breaking off? Has anyone done it yet and are they hard to bend just a little bit?
Also, more importantly, if they aren't all straight and are installed with a slight bend, will that translate to the pipes being a little crooked?

Ok guys. Please excuse my terminology if I relayed this wrong. I'm talking about the brackets that are welded on the Borla tips (that slip into the rubber hangers at the tip area). A couple of those are slightly bent.
