Are your tips off center

[bu-bye]

My tips are about 1 inch to the left and it drives me crazy. You can't really tell unless you really follow the lines of the car. My friends say it fine but I hate looking at it. I tryed moving them over a little but had no real luck. Do any of you you guys have this problem. I'm not asking for a fix I just would like to know who else has this problem and if it bugs you.

Your muffler is probably installed an inch to the left... if it's clamped on you can adjust it, if it's welded you could probably get a muffler shop to fix it, if it's worth the trouble.... Good luck. [img]graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]

Well, its really not worth the trouble. I posted this to see if anyone had off center tips like me. Not really for a fix. Mine are off only about 1/2 an inch now that I look at it again. Nothing big. So, who's tips are off center?

My exhaust tips were sagging a little. Instead of paying the shop $30 to reposition them, I jacked the rear end up and placed some blocks under the exhaust pipe and lowered the car back to the ground. This fixed them right about where i wanted them.....

I had that problem too! It bugged me to death! I couldnt fix them cause they were wielded. Also, one stuck out a little further than the other. The guy at the shop said that he installed them a little off because the point that they are trained to line the tips up with is off a little on our car. I just took mine back to the shop and he fixed them for free.

Yeh i know what your talking about my left tip is kinda cocked to the left a litle.. bugs the hell outa me but nobody else notices it. Im glad im not the only other anal retentive person on this board.

Need I say it again.. it drives me crazy as well. My passenger side tip sticks out further than the other and and the driver side is higher.

Ugh

My tips have holes in them. I guess the former owner was tring to make speed holes like Homer Simpson.

The tips are off center cause the muffler shop uses factory measurements to bend the pipe from the muffler to the tips(Z28 measurments) They are off center because factory Z28 tips are the wide ones and for them to be center the pipes are not.

mine are off center too. the one on the left is in a good spot, but the one on the right is too far to the center. i asked the guy about it and he said something about not having enough room. it doesn't look that bad.
