My biggest problem is with the passenger side. It seems like they bent the pipe a few inches before they should have and made the pipe too short (just speculation, im gonna send them pictures sometime soon) because when I clamp the passenger side pipe with the xpipe (with those stock clamps) there is about a 2 1/2 inch space between the xpipe and the passenger side pipe. Where as the drivers side is completely flush with the xpipe. I could push the passenger side back to almost fill the gap but then the tips don't match up in the back.
I think this space is actually causing more drone and a slight vibration even though I have tightened the clamp a ton.
Do you have this problem too?

Thanks for the response back. LOL the only thing I'm happy with is the sound. I dont have the magnaflow x but i have the arh headers and there x pipe and all i can say is thank god for evolution performance standing behind the products they sell. It all started in like the end of august when i got the exhaust. the exhaust was hitting EVERYWHERE...the axle, the underbody, the emergency brake cable braket, etc. After numerous calls to magnaflow (who told me I was nuts and the only one having this problem) i went back to evo and they verified the problem. magnaflow said i got one of the first "prototype" kits and that they had made changes since. They sent me a new one. The new one had its problems as well. the tailpipes never want to line up right, the lengths are different, the passenger side tail pipe is lower, the bend in the pipe seems wrong, and to boot it was still hitting my rear. Evo actually put the pipes ina bender to correct the bend, and they had to cut the exhaust in half and weld in stainless pieces of 3 inch to make the bend over the axle higher, and the tail pipes line up properly. Evo has stood behind the stuff 100% especially cause it wasnt there fault. We took pics of the problem and pics of the modifications and sent them to Magnaflow so they can do something about it. IMO magnaflow as a whole has been completely worthless in fixing this problem. Almost everyone I have talked to has had a fitment issue or two. I thought about throwing it in the trash and buying a different brand. Im super shocked too because there 3 inch kits for the gt500 have perfect fitment even with being lowered. Hope this helps. I do love the sound though...haha.
