Default Crooked FSport Exhaust!?

I just installed my Fsport exhaust yesterday and noticed that the left muffler doesn't seem to sit the same way as the right one. It seems like it almost hangs down a little bit on a slant, which is making the left tip look a little different then the other side. Any help or suggestions!? Due to the massive amounts of snow we just got I wasn't able to take a pictures of this yet.

people say that the left side of the fsport exhaust hangs just a bit lower than the right. Some people are using zip ties to level out the left side.

Ok, so atleast im not the only one that thinks this too. But wouldnt zip ties melt due to the hot surface of the exhaust? Any pictures of this setup?

+1, the difference is very invisible unless you stare long and close.

no, mine was definetly really noticable. the left muffler seemed to be hanging down on an angle. I used 2 zip ties, one around the muffler hanger, then the other one somewhere else. you have to be a little creative.

ya know....people bashed me for buying that top speed exhaust that required some hangar modification. At least I know now that it doesnt matter how much money you spent...the hangars could still be fubared.

if someone can get demensions on the stock hangers, there are plenty of other sizes that could close up the gap.

here are a small sample from autozone

This isn't just a f-sport problem. Lots of exhaust do this on the IS. Both my borla and my magnaflow did it. Zipties work.
