Mufflers are not even

jv262002 · April 14th, 2008, 08:07 PM

Okay, I recently installed some JBA Axel-back Mufflers onto my car. I put the right one on fine and also the left one. I lowered the car and noticed that my left one is lower and sticks out further than the right one. I am not mechanically inclined, but I swear I followed the directions to the T. What is up with that? Do I need to take the left one off again and try to bang the "hooks" on the muffler itself to try to make it even with the good one? Or do I remove it and bang out the "hangers" on the underside of the car?

If you need to, click on the pic below to blow it up.

mine are off a bit too. the left one is farther back on the car then the left. i just tried to get under there and loosen the bolts and nuts and bang stuff around under there.....

Yep losen the bolts & move it arround till you get it where ya need it.

the reason it is sticking out farther is cause its down so if you just pull it up it will solve both problems. if you like the length of the right one then just put some washers under the left one and if you like the right one then just flatten the hanger out good luck man!

I found out why my mufflers looked "off." When I put the X-pipe on, I didn't cut one pipe as long as the other one. I shortened the longer one to fit. It's looking good now.
