Fast Intentions Exhaust sitting too low??

Ok so i installed my FI exhaust on sat. and i keep looking at all the pics i can find and they all appear that i installed it correct, but to me it seems as if the "Magnaflow Muffler" on the mid-pipe is hanging too low, i mean i and like 2" off the ground bt the muffler is even lower it seems

heres a pic:



Anyone else with FI exhaust can you post pics or check your exhaust for reference?!?!?

Does not look that low to me, I'm sure someone with an FI exhaust can chime in.

The Magnaflow X pipe should be about even with the crossmember under the car (the one you have to loosen to slide the midpipe in). I should have my car on a lift this Saturday, and can take a peek then.

I Have it on my coupe. That is definately not right. Are you sure you don't have something installed upside down? My car is in storage right now but from what remember, miine is tucked up under the oem cross brace so it is definately not visable when you look under the car.

From the pictures it looks like you bought it used. I could be wrong and if I am then please correct me. But if I am right, I am going to assume that you did not get the instructions with it. It could be installed wrong. Please call me and I can walk you through how it should be step by step. But it does look too low...

Thanks, Tony

O.K. I took another look at the picture and it looks to me like one if not both of your S Pipes are backwards. The correct way to have them installed is the driver side S Pipe needs to have the single dot on the flange facing forward, inboard and down. The passenger side needs to sit with the 2 dots facing forward, inboard and down. If this is not what you see then the two S Pipes are installed wrong...
