Does anybody have any suggestion on fixing the alignment of the Roush exhaust tips? I bought the car a couple months back and figured I could just loosen the tips and align, but that didn't work. I also tried adjusting the axle back, but that didn't work. I'm wondering if the 2013 was just manufactured incorrectly and the 2014s were straight! I've never seen this, but I also don't know how to straighten them without heating something up. Both sides are the exact same.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

2013's might have still been using the 2011-12 tips, my 2013 had 2011-12 tips on my Borlas and they stick out farther than the ones for the 2013-14.

My 2014 had a similar issue. Mine did not sit right in the space and one was further in than the other. The Roush dual chamber exhaust had to be installed by the dealer because of federal laws with exhaust systems. So the original dealer put them on and did not align or make the proper alignments. Mine were under warranty and I had them make the adjustment. Since yours are certainly not, I would either hope someone on here can tell you how to make the adjustment, because I would have done what you tired, or visit your local dealer or a muffler shop. Sorry not much help here...

It's not that they stick out. That can be adjusted. The issue is that they aren't aligned with the valence. The angle of the tips is incorrect in relation to the valence.

I understand this, the valance on the 11/12 was the same on the outside and further out on the inside as well as being 1/2 out. The tip adjustment can make up for the 1/2 inch but not the pitch change.

So are the tips on the wrong side? Are they possibility bent? I do not have any pics of mine before the adjust, but they were not lined up either, just not quite as far off as yours. Now they are parallel with your yellow line. Almost looks like they put the wrong tip on the wrong axle back muffler.

I'll have to check mine, but I think they are on there correct. At least I HOPE SO!!! lol
I'll have to check after bodybuilding.

I don't think they can be put on the wrong side. Can they? Both sides are equally off the same, so they aren't bent. Maybe I should take them off and see if they can go on the opposite side. If they can, I'll feel really stupid.

I took these as if you were standing right behind the taillights, looking straight down where the exhaust tips exit.
Hope this helps!

Well, that'd be nice. Maybe I'll order some new tips. They can't be on the wrong side because of the way they mount. I could put them on the opposite side, but they'd look ridiculous.

Yeah, something's definitely not right with those.
Let us know how you make out! Good luck.

But will they maintain that perfect alignment if they ever go through a full heat cycle?

HA HAAAAAAAA
I guess I'll never know.

Couple of shots of mine... Look a lot like Tony’s. I put about 4K miles a year on this one. Tony is yet to make 4K in 5 years.

Thanks man, I appreciate it.

lol
Maybe in a couple more years I'll hit 5k??

Do your tips have the divider in them? If not they are off an 11-12.

Stage_3

Good point!!
They do look a lot smaller than the '13='14 model exhaust tips.

scottmoyer

They do have the divider in them. I just checked to see if there was any other adjustments I could do to these, but there isn't. The only adjustment is in/out. I might need to just replace the tips.

I wonder if the exhaust has been modified somewhat and that's why they seem off? Can you confirm if it is truly the Roush cat back exhaust?
The previous owner may have switched it up with a different cat back exhaust possibly?
