Default off-centered exhaust tip

So I notice that my exhaust tip is off to the left. I was browsing the gallery, apparently I saw a couple of them with the same problem:




Does any of you have the same problem?

I was trying to figure out if there are such adjustment, but can't find anything yet.

Which bolts are you talking about?
The exhaust is held in place by 1 hanger(welded) and 2 rubber hangers.

i most cases you can push or pull on the main muffler to re-adjust the rubber hanger(s) for centering.

How you get the exhaust end so clean? My ends shows on the bottom black. On the pictures they all looks like new.

Cool Re: off-centered exhaust tip

Unless you change the dynamics of the muffler vs hanger, the system will likely rebound back to where its natural position was.

You may have to bend rounded steel supports slightly to get desired positioning.

Thanks to pnsji for providing pic.

I did try to pull it, but the exhaust will go back to previous position. I was about to go to a muffler shop to change the welded hanger so it will center. However, my friend is offering me a really good price on Startech exhaust... maybe I will do it when I have my Startech installed.

Re your comment as follows:

It certainly is your call on this one but I would request anyone who is considering dealing with StarTech to think twice; we all know the outcome of the StarTech contest and they share responsibility in that.

Just my opinion and who should know better than I.
