Default Exhaust tips crooked?

I notice my left exhaust tip is hanging lower than my right one, is this normal? Before I installed my Nismo the stock ones looked the same, is there a way to fix it? or should I just leave as is?

Ed.

That's funny, I've got the same problem. I've been meaning to take it back to the Nissan dealer to get it lined back up but I haven't gotten around to it...

Yup, thats how they look like but not as noticeable, but mines hangs lower on the left side And its not that someone kicked it, the stock exhaust hanged the same way.

On that red Z it looks like the right side pipe looks correct and that the whole muffler is high on the left. Check the left hanger.

devildoc, nice touch with the overlays on the turn signals. I agree with the rest of the ppl, need to get that exhaust straightened out. Btw, I've been to that part of VA Beach before but whats with the MD plates?

I'm from MD and stationed in VA. I can get away with having no front plate in VA if I keep my MD tags on. As soon as I switch to VA tags, they both need to go on

i was curious about that also!!
mine both hang even and look good but from the side they are angling slightly upward.

from the rear you can look right down the pipes..
is this normal?

im worried about water getting in and possibly rusting long term..

thoughts??? (sounds GRRRREATTT!
