HELP!! Exhaust Hitting Differential
I need your help guys, I just installed the Apexi WSII last night and this morning when I took it out for a test run I notice the driver side exhaust pipe is hitting the differential. What can I do to fix this.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I took a closer look at the problem and I realize that driver side muffler is hitting bumper. The side of the muffler that is hitting the bumper is the opposite side of the exhaust tip, I don't know how to explain it.

i hvea the same problem too. i thought it's just my setup, but seems like it's for all apexi users. if you look at both left and right, the two tips don't hang symmetric
what i did was i shaved off part of the bumper edge (it's hitting the inside). and then i jammed rubber in the rear exhaust o ring and push down the tips further.
but still, my exhuast WAS hitting the differential on the driver side. i could see marks. so i pulled on the exhaust to get them further away

The part about the exhaust hitting the inside of the bumper is exactly my problem. The exhaust tips on both side are pretty much line up in the opening, its just the damn rattling from hitting the inside of the bumper is driving me crazy. I think if I get shorter O ring for the bumper is would help some of the rattling but not all. If that doesn't work I'm going to a muffler shop to have them take a look at it. Wish me luck guys, I never knew getting the exhaust would cause me all this headache.

What I did was go to meineke and have the heat up the pipe and bend it a lil bit away from the DIff.

just do what i did, take a look at exactly where it's rubbing, and then shave off that part of the inner bumper flap piece. everything gone after that
