Please dont use zip ties, Ive read somewhere that you can play with where it bolts in and it'll align itself and then if not use clamps not zip ties.

The left hanging low like that. Is it common?

Why does it do that? Maybe the alignment is off?

Anyone know if the OEM mufflers have any value? I didn't even bother to bring them back from the shop. I'm not a grease monkey so I had the shop installed them.

If it is hanging lower on one side could it be that there is something wrong with the part where the rubber hangs attaching the car and exhaust?

How does it sound on the inside? Is it droning? On a scale of 1-5 1 being the the quietest (stock sound) and 5 being the loudest (HKS) how's that sound?
