add washers under the exhaust hanger bolts...
llyod "chaotic s4" did this for my exhaust since it was rubbing on my frame. just add enough washers until they are even. hope that helps.

Depends on the problem:
if there is enough room on the "rods" welded to the exhaust, you can "scooch" the rubber hangers to the appropriate side to center the exhaust and then use a washer and hose clamp to keep the rod to one side in the hanger. You'll probably need to do this on 2 or 3 of the hangers for the best result. Be careful, however, to ensure that there remains sufficient slack for the exhaust to still move around under load.
If the "rods" are too short or out of place, then welding might be necessary (but really unlikely with any of the popular exhausts around here).
Good luck.

and more..i have no idea what exhaust this is..more.
i got up under there on the lift...no where does it say a name or any wordings. i know there's no resonator, just the muffler, it's a catback obviously...and 2 long tips if that helps.
i'm trying to get a hold of the previous owner to set that thing straight and find out what it is.

i got it! it's a UUC exhaust! more
i hope this product is of quality...
i spoke to the folks that did the installation, they say it must've settled down, and i shouldnt' make it too stiff in the back, cuz i'll get vibrations throughout...they say the tension is in the middle of the system.
anyone with the UUC site? phone #? maybe they can lead me better.
thanks for all the replies gang!

My friend had a UUC that stayed pretty much twisted and not positioned right...
not sure what the dealio was or how/if he fixed it though. I think he may have had someone hoist his ride and do some serious tweaking.

take it to a custom shop and have it adjusted.
Trust me... this exhaust is the best... but it's hard to make fit perfect.
Some have ventured to put it on themselves and this may also be one of those situations but I had one of these and it fit perfect on the dot. It can be done. you just have to take it to the right people.
