Adjusting Flowmasters

Hello everyone!

I put Flows on the hotrod not too long ago and they fit perfectly straightaway. However, since they were installed, the right side muffler has drooped a bit. If you look at the canister, its right side is the side that is drooping, not the whole muffler. I went under the car to check all of the bolts and they are all just as tight as they should be. My question to you is what could be causing the droop? Would the h-pipe trick work in this situation?

Thanks in advance for your input.
Jon

could it possibly be vandalism? someone stepping on the tip maybe? I have seen that happen before. Odd that the tip would droop and not the muffler, being that the tip isn't really but a few inches long from the muffler.

try loosing your mid h-pipe (adjusting over axel pipe) first and moving the muffler around. Then re-tighten. If that doesn't work try loosening everything

I tried the h-pipe trick and it closed up the distance. Now the right side just about 1/4" off the left side. Not perfect like I want to it be but I don't believe I could rotate the h-pipe more the get a perfect match. I too, for a brief moment anyway, thought that someone may have stepped on the tip but thankfully that is not the case. If I ever catch someone doing that I will feel obligated to pound his face!

Cheers,
Jon
