Unhappy Crooked Exhaust

How can I fix this? I just bought '05 LTD Roadster pre-owned and didn't notice until today. You can see that they're higher on the left and slant downward to the right, like the whole system is rotated slightly.

looks like welding has been done that messed up the systems positioning... you can get the system... straightened at any decent exhaust shop...

um... i am guessing $50? that sounds fair to me... i wonder why that happened to you? was the mufflers switched out? do you have a cat back? did someone tamper with the cats?

how does the car sound?

Wish I knew. Beauty of buying pre-owned I guess. It sounds just fine, good even. Everything runs smooth.

You can easily fix this - put up on rack - loosen first joint forward of the muffler - simply rotate muffler assembly until the tips are straight and then retighten in proper position! How do I know? ...Been there - done that - and, have stripes to prove it!
