RB duals a little crooked..

Ok guys, I installed a set of RB duals this weekend. First off, I am very pleased with the sound, and there seems to be a fairly significant performance gain (according to my *** dyno at least). I purchased the exhaust because I spied a small hole in my stock exhaust, and it was getting fairly loud. Only after removing the stocker did I realize that the entire top portion had rusted away!!

Anyways, the install went fairly quickly, and everything fit well under the vehicle. After stepping back to check it out though, I realized the right side of the exhaust hangs a little lower than the left. I fought with it for about an hour, but I couldn't seem to get it level. I'm guessing that I'm going to have to remove it again, and bend the damn hanger.

Has anyone else had problems getting these level?

The tips are natrually off a tid bit if thats what you mean? I noticed it too when I put mine on. They are just made that way for flow or just fitment even.

Mine is even from all angles. You may want to readjust your hanger (mainly the one near exhaust tips) and/or retighten the front exhaust/cat area. Good luck.

If your talking about the tips pointing to the right, thats not what Im talking about. The whole right side hangs lower than the left... It looks like I can correct it by bending the hanger on the left a little, but I expected more for the money I spent.



IDK, maybe I was expecting too much.....

Make sure the left side rear hanger is hanging right in the middle of the rubber hanger. Mine tends to slide rightward, and so I used a band clamp to wrap it around the base of the rubber hanger and keep it more centered.

Do you have any pics? How noticeable of an unbalance does it appear compared to mine below? Mine is even. Here are some pics I took awhile back...I wish I took straight on for better viewing but gives you an idea...
