Exhuast Installed - Tips Burning my bumper - NEED HELP!!

I just purchased the X02 Racing exhuast and ran into a problem with the install about the alignment of the tips. One of them aligned correctly and the other one didnt. (sorry i dont have pics yet)

The tip that is not aligned correctly is sitting right on the bumper, like Literally sticking to the top portion. I just noticed that it is BURNING THE BOTTOM PORTION OF THE BUMPER!!! BUt the other side seems fine since is sits low....


ANy Advice on what I should do???


Thanks

u have to align the pipes first before you tighten down the bolts to create tension in the pipes. as soon as you create tension, the pipes are locked down in a certain direction. if they're tightened whilst misaligned, you'll never get the tips aligned. try aligning the pipes first, then start tightening from the front of the car to the back of the car. make sure the hangers are sturdy. trust me, it'll work...give it a shot.

Problem has been solved.

I took it to a muffler shop and they had to push down the right side.

OVerall, I love this exhuast. The reviews from my350 forums had me sold because of how much people loved it compared to the HKS.

I will do a full review with pics and video clips as soon as I get a hold of my cousin who has some of the pics and will be taking my videos.

Xo2 FTW, sounds like another satisfied customer. I'm leaning towards getting this exhaust and then using the other 600 saved for Mrev+ and spacer

Exactly what I will be doing in the future. I am currently working on getting the Ztube/pop charger. Then the spacer....

Yes the exhuast does catch attention if you give it a lil gas. Has that deep growl to it =)
