I just finished installing my MAC shorty headers and MAC o/r h-pipe, and am stilling using the existing flowmaster catback system that was in place. I am having a hard time getting both tailpipes aligned. The drivers side seems ok, but the passenger side doesn't stick out as far and is touching the bumper cover. Anybody have any suggestions on how to best align these tailpipes? All help is appreciated.

You will have to adjust your flowtubes....thats the only way unless you put a bend in the tailpipe

Its usually the hangars that are the wrong length. Try removing the hangar and using something else to fasten them up.

This is a common problem with Blowmasters... My drivers side sticks out about a 1/4 inch, and the pass one is perfect....

Im having the same problem but on opposite sides. It was fine until I had to take the tailpipes off to change control arms.
Ive got a MAC catted H (coming off asap) and a Flowmaster catback.

I might see what I can do with the exhaust tomorrow at my friends shop (its there getting bodywork anyway) or I might end up taking it to an exhaust shop.
I keep having a problem where the left pipe moves around at the muffler even though its clamped.
