Question How to get L-tuned tips centered.

Just installed my L-tuned exhaust that I got from Sewell Lexus, great guys, and the tips are not centered. They are both toward the center of the car. The inside rubber hangers have hardly any tension at all. I don't think there is any adjustment anywhere. If anyone had this same problem and help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

If you find out, could you let me know, My HKS hangs a little lower on the driver side than the passenger side, I was thinking about getting some new rubber hangers from an exhaust shop

Don't they have different sized rubber grommets (is that what you call that black rubber hanger thingies) that will pull the canister more to left or right depending on the tension of the rubber?

One thing my exhaust shop did was to actually install more rubber on the side that's slacking so it will "neutralize" the tension from the other side.

On your case, it would be putting more of the rubber on the outer side (away from the center).

Good luck.

I think they are centered right, if anything I would like them higher up closer to the bumper??
