That was exactly what i was thinking!! when i installed them it looked as though they were angled the wrong way. nobody will notice but i do... i was thinking about getting under there with a butane torch and heating up the hangar while pushing on it in the direction i want it to go.

^ thought about the hangar too, when I installed.
The hangar is on the rubber isolator, so it moves no problem.

Tweaking it at the slip joint worked perfectly.

I know with a lift it would be easy to get under the car but how easy it to actually install all the parts of the exhaust? Would I be able to do this myself/what problems would I run into?

You can easily install the exhaust yourself. Put car on 4 jackstands by jacking up the front and then the rear.

yea same here. 4 jackstands is a plus. i used 2 in back. hardest part was breaking the bolts on the Cats loose. you may need a friend to help lift the center section into place while you get all the bolts in.

One question for you guys... the rubber isolators that hang the cans themselves (the farthest from the front of the car) are attached to a square bracket. this bracket is held on by 2 bolts and has an arrow on it facing a certain direction. which way should this arrow be facing?? mine are facing towards the front of the car.

Idk ....

I had a quick look at the SM, but it isn't very clear.
It does look like there is only one way though.


....I'll have a look next chance I get.
