I installed me new X-pipe (UPR) today it and went together pretty well, however one of my tail pipes (right side) hangs a bit lower than the other (the left tail pipe tip is touching the top of the bumper but the right one hangs 1/2" lower and does not touch the bumper.) Also i am using a Bassani catback if that makes any difference. I can't figure out how to solve this problem, ive tried adjusting the tailpipes by loosening the tailpipe to muffler clamp and moving it around but i just can't get it right. Any suggestions or solutions? Please let me know, Thanks.

I have the same problem.The left side barely tounch the bumper and the right side is perfect.I tryed about 4 different times and got the same result.I also have the bassani tailpipes,but with magnapacks.I might just sell my system and get a magnaflow magnapack system,i like those tailpipes better.Good luck with that.Let me if you fix it.

I have the same problem. Unfortunately I can't help you. I got tired of fighting it and left it the way it was.

Two things try rolling the connection at the muffler one way or another or take the end section off and bend the hangers a little in a vice.

I have the same problem. What I plan to do is ream out the hole in the rubber hanger so the exhaust tip drops a little so that it does not touch the bumber.

cut the hanger and add about 1/2" so it drops it down and weld it back together???
