question about HKS HI-Power

I installed mine about a month ago, I noticed that my left side of the exhaust sticks out more. I checked the donut and rechecked the bolts but doesnt seem to fix the uneven ends. Anyone have ideas to fix this problem? Thanks

Hmmm . . . Couldn't imagine what that might be. I dry fitted everything on the ground and it all laid out just fine, as did the final installation. How far off are the SS exhaust tips? Can you even them out with the Ti tips?

also it seems like my left exhaust is close to the rear bumper. my right exhaust's placing is perfectly set in the middle, but my left exhaust doesnt settle in the middle part of the body, instead its too close to the inside part of the rear bumper... no idea whats wrong... frustrating

Okay, I had the use of a lift, so it was a bit easier for me to see what was happening. One of my tips was not as centered as the other, as well. I simply tweaked the flanges until the one side lined up and tightened the said up. The flanges are just a tad bit off, but the ends are centered.

Goodluck! Hey, do not forget to wipe off any finger prints/smudges, etc. You don't want any of the said to burn it and turn into dark spots on that polished satinless steel during the initial burn-in period.

Hey I noticed the same problem with mine about a month after I had it installed. I also rechecked the bolts on the tips but everything was fine. I guess I'll just live with it unless someone can think of what it could be.

You've got adjustable tips.

Re-adjust/angle the exhaust to make em look even.

You can't have nearly as much of an issue as i do.
I've got a NISMO diffuser and the exhaust actually rubs against it.

Quit meowing and use what HKS gave you.
ADJUSTABLE TIPS!

hahaha
