RE: Crooked Exhaust Tips
Mine were crooked, and after trying in vain to get the original pipes straight the dealer replaced the entire catback for me under warranty. Now they're straight! [sm=happy046.gif]

RE: Crooked Exhaust Tips
If its just one tip higher or lower than the other, jack the rear up, support it with stands and useing a 12" rachet extension, or pry bar, pry the side down that is closest to the rear facia, until they line up to your expectations. Now if one side sticks out futher than the other, this works with the stock and mopar cat back, loosen the clamp by the rear wheel(clamps on the Mopar) using the same prying device, pry the hanger forward until they line up with your expectations. Always pry down or toward the rear, never pry up (towards the roof) or back (towards the front of the car) this will make the problem worse. And if you pry to much, you guessed it you will break the hanger off. And if you have the mopar cat back test drive it, get it nice and hot and check the tip alighnment, remembering what needs to be corrected, let it cool off and adjust it again. You might have to do this a few times with the mopar catback to get the tips sticking out and level both when they are hot an cold. Always allow them to cool complety down before you try to do anyting..1800 degrees..it goes out the exhaust pipe.

Sorry, but I don't think they will stay straight. I just went and looked at mine last night and they are crooked again. I had them straight.
