I dont believe its a hard task to complete if someone can verify if the tips are 2.5 I may be able to do a d.I.y. if people have some experience with welding

I can verify the non-varex muffler tips are 2.5in wide. When the exhaust shop put on my exhaust they did not have to re-weld the hangers but they did have to cut the tips to fit. I've attached a picture of where the exhaust tip sits currently behind our faux exhaust tips. As you will be able to see the exhaust tip is more aligned with the top half of our tips. Maybe with some re-work to the hangers this could change though. Hope this helps.

You can always have the hangers rewelded to have the exhaust sit lower aka more centered to your liking. IMO.

I think you would have to because a set of perfectly offset tips is going to be hard to find. Whereas dual exit single entry are pretty common.

I'm powering mine from inside the armrest. It comes with a 12V cigarette plug. The control box and 12v is in there. I routed my wires under the door sill plastics.

Yes under the spare tire.
Then route the wire under the carpet to shock tower area.
