Default Fujitsubo exhaust owners please come in!

I just picked up my Fujitsubo exhaust today, and got it installed right way. i love the sound and the look of it. Thanks Saud2k, Sebrings2k, and Christy for the great reviews . However, i found driver side tip is a little lower and stick out a little more than the passenger side. Do you guys' all like this, is there a way to fix it? Thanks

Mine is the same driver side a little longer. Most people can not tell the diffrence unless you point it out to them.I have this exhaust for 5 month and I love it.

When I get mine, I let you guys know if it is the same. I'll most likely analyze it closely and if I find a "fix", I'll tell you. So far, I've heard nothing from Morris about it, but I'm hoping that September will give me some news.

unbolt the middle section, and then line them up again. Best to have it on a hoist for this. Not a big problem.

Wtbs2k,
When I installed mine, I bent bracket/hanger downward a little on the driver side muffler. This will bring the muffler/tip to be even to the passenger side. I don't remember exactly how much to bend the bracket (maybe 1 cm. downward); you have to see how much off the driver side is to the passenger side. You can also bend the bracket inward or out ward depending on which way it is off. I used the round end of the adjustable wrench to bend and it work perfectly. You may want to do a search; there are some information on this. No big concerns, just adjust the driver side bracket...Good luck.

I got lucky... mine lined up perfectly

Thanks to Legal Bill for his excellent "how-to" thread for removing the stock system.

The mounting tubes seem like they should be easier to bend than the stock exhaust, so hopefully it shouldn't be too hard to get yours to line up.

A couple impressions:

At first, I thought it was too quiet, but I've quickly come to love this exhaust. No droning at all, and a nice deep, not too loud, note. (Goes particularly well with the sound from the AEM V2.) I think it looks great as well. I have chromed wheels, so it's a nice match.
