I had the Pypes system on the car until recently when I tore it down for the rebuild. It had the tell-tale driver side tip tilt-in towards the center of the car. I even called and had another set of tail pipes shipped to me, same thing, so I gave up and just left it.

Did a Pypes on the 442, same thing. Driver's side tip angled towards the center of the car. There too I bought another set of tail pipes, same thing. Gave up on it too. I even was considering driving it up to Pypes and have them look at it.

I thought about making a cut in the pipe like 2/3s thru it, push it together, and weld it back up, to fix the tilt/angle, but because the way the pipes are, you would see the section with the weld on it.

When I do it this time I don't want to have to go thru the same mess again. I want ones that fit right and are straight/even. It's only the tail pipes that are an issue on the Pypes setups, and even considered buying a system and replacing the tail pipes from another vendor.
