Default Nismo Exhaust Install question?

Hey all, I just installed the Nismo Catback Exhaust on my 350z. The drivers side exhaust tip hangs lower than the passenger side. It seems very noticeable to me. Has anyone run into this and how can I go about fixing and leveling it out? Thanks!!

What you might try first though is loosen the bolts and move the back box around on it's hangers to make sure it settles in the lowest position all the way around.

If that does not help, with the bolts on the back box loose, you might try bending the drivers side hanger just a little to bring it up. Try to bend the hanger on the car up just a bit. You might need to take the whole box off though to really get at it.

I bet if you go back and loosen everything up and realign the exhaust tips they'll be even. Have somebody steady the muffler while you retighten everything down. At worst you might have a bent muffler hanger that needs to be realigned back to its original position.

Mine is like that too but I really don't care much. I have noticed all Nismo exhausts do that.

make sure the muffler is in all the hangars. Mine fits perfectly with no lopsided hang.
