Had to play with mine when I put my Flowmasters on to get them centered in the opening. Hope it works for you.

i didn't install them nor do i have the tools, but i'm going to a shop that's done a lot of work on my car and will tell them this. when i had the single tips on and this diffuser the tips were to the either the far left or right and not in the middle so i just think the tips of the muffler go out to far to one side maybe. we'll probably find a way to center it and maybe cut some extra metal out so they don't stick out so far, at least that's my idea

They can probably pull the mufflers forward and also/or shorten the backs of the tips. Looks like absolute hell as it is. Sorry.

I have Corsa's quad tip exhaust and had to cut the welds and reposition the tips closer to the mufflers to look right with the same 1LE diffuser.

I had no problems when I had mine installed.

Here is my setup. I had the SLP loudmouth 2 on my car prior to the fabrication.

finally got it fixed a week later. i've been through a couple exhaust set ups so the pipes were messed up and i got everything replaced from the X pipe back with the resonators deleted. the drone is like having a muffler delete but ill get used to it

i was having weird shaking issues kind of like an aggressive cam but after everything was replaced its calm again. tips also kind of go out to the side so it's a cool distinctive look! *sorry for the uneven pic*

That's more like it! Easy fix... its just pipes... cuts and welds...

Here's a pic. This is a great mod for our rides!

This pic is me standing right besides them the whole time while I made sure they did it right the first time...
