Default Crooked Exhaust

i just installed my invidia mid pipe yesterday and this morning i notice my exhaust is sitting crooked. the right side is sitting lower than the left side. i can stick two finger on the right and one finger on the left. the car is a 2011. should i unbolt the spring bolts and re-tighten them or maybe i stretch the hanger bushings during installion??

The best way to go about it to loosen the bolt and then re-adjust your exhaust. Slowly tight each side until they are straight. You need to play around with it a bit.

Or you can use zip ties. Just do a quick search on "uneven exhaust"
