      i think i know what your talking about. when i got my flows on at first the tips were crooked because the pipes came out differently, like one was longer then the other. i think you just need to get a cusom pipe made so it comes out evenly. no big deal.

            shouldnt cost too much. if you take it back to the place that did it for you, they should do it for free.

              same problem here.... and if your like me you installed yourself... too easy to warrant paying someone else. anyway, its not like this can really be fixed cause mine came with 9" tips welded on.. unless you cut the tips off and reweld them 1/2" back. anyway, my solution is this... just find somebody with a shi**y driveway, bottom out REALLY HARD and crush your tips like i did, then go get new arms custom bent to matching lengths with new tips. man was i peeved, exhaust only 2 months old. :mad:

                  I'm guessing it wasn't aligned properly.

                    when i get home im going to measure where the tip was welded i really think it was done further up on one pipe then the other cause its balanced on the car, everything is right

                      The muffler shop goes by stock Z28 specs to bend your pipe, the pipe has to be off set for the stock Z28 tips to alligned and centered properly. You need to make sure when you go in to tell them you want your tips centered, otherwise they will use the specs they have to bend your pipe

                        I have the exact same catback and mine are fine. I think its just how they are installed.
