uneven tips...easy fix?
I just got back from streetimage where they installed a stillen exhaust on my '07. Dru and the mechanics there were super courteous and finished everything in a timely matter. I was impressed. The car sounds and feels great and I couldn't be happier. I do have a minor concern though. I sent a couple of pms to the owners who've already installed their exhausts on the '07, but I thought maybe the rest of you can pitch in and offer some help. The left exhaust tip seems to be a little more crooked and lower than the right one. At a glance, you can't really tell, but if you look at it for a couple of seconds you can kinda see it. Anyways, is this a simple fix or does it require a complete disassembling of the exhaust. Since it's such a picky concern I don't want to have to drive back to the shop and have Dru and the guys fix this minor problem. I'll post some pics when I'm back home. Any input is appreciated.

No issue with either tip sitting lower on one side. The only concern I had was the quality of the polish on the rear portion of each muffler. Both had severe surface scratches and marring. I sent a complaint to Stillen and was notified by their CSR Manager that it's was normal. He also mentioned they focus their attention on the exhaust performance instead of quality of the look. You may want to see if Stillen will replace the one side.
Post pics of your car.
Aren't you located in the Hollywood area? PM me as I am also relatively close to that location. I'd like to take a look at your car.

For over $1k for and exhaust (a Stainless cat back, no less, not even Titanium), I'd expect them to at least care enough about quality control that they'd at least buff out the scratches before they bag and shipped it. I guess I'll wait until someone else who actually cares about the look as well as the function to put out a decent exhaust system that looks good, as well as sounds and preforms well. If I wanted an ugly exhaust, I'd drop a few bills at billy-bobs' exhaust shop, and have a custom exhaust made, It will still flow good!

I live on the NE corner of Melrose and Crescent Heights. Just north of Fred Segal. You're more than welcome to stop by. I'm not going to work tomorrow so let me know if you're going to be around.

Besides, it's only good for what, 6 HP, even at the wheels, that's to a real noticable difference, definately not a $1k+ difference. If I'm gonna spend that kind of coin on an exhaust, it better look like it's worth $1k+! ![](http://www.rs25.com/forums/images/smilies/jerkit.gif)
