FRPP GTA Install

Well, installed my new FRPP GTA's in about 90 minutes. First one took most of it. There's one bolt on the driver's side that is a pain in the butt to get to.
Regardless, they are on and look amazing, and sound even better. My only problem is the driver's side tip is not centered in the opening. Its not off by much but enough for me to notice! I am going to tweak it tomorrow to see if it can be adjusted, but I'm not quite sure where I can adjust it to make it centered. Any tips?

Thanks again for all your help.

loosen all bolts, clamps etc. Place the tip where you want then go and do small turns on each bolt etc till they are all tight. If that does not work you will have to tweak the bars that slide into the hangers.

That the exact way to do it. You should hear them with longtube headers.

I just played with it for 2 hours... thought I had it centered and then when I tightened all bolts stepped back and the tip was back in an off-center position. Looks like I may have to bend the bars that slide into the hangers????????

Try loosening it at the H pipe to further adjust.

I had to do the very same thing with mine, play with them for a few days and they will settle into place.

Try loosening the H pipe clamp up & then you can shift the over axle pipe around. I had to do that to get my right side tip centered. No bending needed.

Thanks, I'll play with it later after football. By the way, is there a market for the stock exhaust? I have no room for storage and not sure if I should just trash them??? Can anyone use them?

I have very good luck selling my extra stuff here. Just price it as a good deal. V6 guys are looking for stock GT exhaust parts.
