MBRP Axle Back Tip Fitment Issues

I installed the MBRP Axle Back and I cannot get the tips to sit both flat (not crooked) and centered in the rear valence openings. Has anyone with this system run into this?

I've gotten under the car multiple times to loosen the pipe sections to attempt readjustment but cannot get it right. Wondering you guys experience with this?


Sort of hard to tell from my pic, but the tips are about an inch and a half too far towards the middle, evenly, on both sides.

Thanks!

Same thing happened to me with the MBRP catback. That is pretty standard. The exhaust shop I went to bent it for me. They used a crowbar and just put a towel on the pipe so it wouldn't ruin it. You can try that yourself or take it to a shop and they can do it real easy for probably $20.

Did they bend the piping itself or the hangars?

Both. The hangars to get it to fit correctly and then the piping to make them symmetrical and level.

It happens. That's why companies recommend professional installation.

Everytime they get a U.S order they weld the pipes crooked, Canadian style and have a little chuckle.....
