Default Left side of exhaust sticks out more (hks)

So i just got my HKS HI POWER installed the other day, and i JUST realized that the left side of the exhaust sticks out just a tad bit more than the right side. Here is the picture of it. I know that it isnt a big of a deal, but i was just wondering if you should jus leave it like that or not. thx



you can only see the left side sticking out from this angle. On other angles it looks fine, i asked all my friends if there is anything wrong, they all did not realize it until i actually told them. thx what should i do??

^^ when its cooled down just mess with the rubber hangers and you should be able to play with it to make it more even...there will be 2 hangers on the front of the exhaust (very back of the car) you can push the hangers in or out of the rubber grommets there.

+1 Mike's right...just mess with the hangers and that will do the trick...My LMS was a tad over a lil bit and I played with the hangers to get a better position.

It could be the hangers, or if its a 2/3 piece exhaust system do some adjusting with the parts where it bolts up. Sometimes they are off alignment and causes it to sit funny.

My car came with an HKS and the fitment was perfect. When I replaced it with the Tanabe, I noticed that the rubber grommets holding the exhaust to the hangers were tightened with hose clamps. I don't know how much misalignment you have, but squeezing on the grommets with the clamps will allow you to adjust the height of the exhaust.
