Default Blitz Exhaust owners Crooked tips

I installed my Blitz exhaust about a month ago and I finally took it to a shop to get the tips aligned. The passenger side sits 1" closer to the bumper if your looking from the top. The driver side is perfect with the word Blitz perfectley visible. I tried measuring it but i might have been off. The piping seems to be an inch shorter on the passenger side any other of you have this problem? The 2 shops I went to said its all flang on flange so they couldnt really adjust it. I was thinking of getting new rubber hangers but I dont think it would help since im not having a sagging problem. Any other of you Blitz owners having this issue?

I about to purchase one myself and was wondering how do you like it so far besides the alignment problem. Is there a big difference from stock?

Sound a little bit. Barely any louder over stock. I never felt an improvement in performance either. I would get an intake since its louder and will add a little more noise My only regret is the nice tips are off. I will get a pic of them in a bit to show them.

You have stock rear bumper,right?
It will be more obvious when you have an aftermarket rear lip installed.

yup..I remember that Blitz tip on the passenger side sits a little higher than the driver's side, but not an inch higher for sure. less than 1/2" maybe.
I don't think my stock tips align perfectly, either.

My Tom's had the same issue and the tip on the passenger's side actually slightly touched the rear lip.
Just have the muffler shop bend it a little. It only takes like one minute and they don't even need to heat it up.
Or you can add spacers, no need to find a longer rubber hanger.
