Thanks, but not really. If you take closer look at the 2nd pic, i do not know why my left exhaust seem to be a little out of place. I have checked it with a mechanic, but there seems to be nothing wrong with it. Everything is bolted correctly. But no worries

Had almost the same set up as you. Looks great IMO

For the exhaust, I laughed when I read this but it worked, Take some zip ties and pull them up and it will even them out. I actually did this on both sides to pull them up a little bit. If I can find some pics to show you I will post back in your thread so you can see the difference
