So I had ARK R-spec HFCs and Injen SES (1987TT) installed. A review with sound clips will be coming later. When I got home, I notice that the passenger side tip sticks out just a but more than the driver's side. It's not much, 1/4-1/2 inch, not a big deal. I was just wondering if anyone else has noticed this with theirs.
I also noticed that the passenger side is just slightly closer to the center of the car. I'm wondering if I put a slight bend in in the exhaust hanger if I can pull the passenger tail pipe out to the side and back in to the car just slightly to even it out with the other one.

Amateur install - don't accept that quality of work. The nuts/bolts shouldn't have been fully-tightened until that alignment was adjusted properly. At this point, with all the fasteners being brand-new, get under there yourself and do it right. And, I might apply some Permatex Anti-Sieze to all those fasteners, so they'll be protected for the future.

This is why I do everything myself. Even simple **** like exhaust gets botched.

+1 for loosening it up and straightening it out yourself

I'll give straightening it myself a whirl. Thing is my mechanic who is pretty good, mentioned one of the pipes could've stood to be longer when I asked about fitment. I was wondering if he did all he could and that was best it could be. It's very close, only someone looking to see if they were lined up perfectly would notice.

If that's the case, and you can't fix it with adjustments, I'd get on the phone with the Injen vendor and ask them to make it right. A $1K+ exhaust should fit the car properly.

Nah - there are plenty of details on my cars that I know will never be seen by anyone, but they're done correctly because that's how things should be done. The devil is always in the details.
