After about a week mine seems to have moved both in the horizontal and vertical plane. If you have any info, please offer advice on how adjustment was done. Thanks.

Default They MOVED ?

Mine weren't centered at the install, and I didn't say anything about it. The tips still are not centered, and it doesn't really bother me all that much.

I do notice that my tips stick out about 1-2" more when they are hot. But no movement in the horizontal plane. Check to make sure all your brackets are firmy attached.

Beyond that I really can't help much. Sorry.

Good luck,
Peter

Default Adjust the exhaust from the REAR muffler first...

Tighten your exhaust adjustments and fittings from the rear of the car first and then work your way forward.

Default The thermal expansion coefficient of stainless steel is HIGH. That's why it grows.

You should see some of the crap I have to go through with a 300ft long building with different materials and expansions rates....
