I'm sure that this thread could be about any of the aftermarket exhausts but I've had two on my car now (RX8Store & Racing Beat) and neither of them sat in the middle of the exhaust shrouds like the OEM exhaust. One tip may be centered but the other is a little too high/ low, too far in/ out. I've noticed others on this forum with off-center exhausts tips but no one seems to be bothered by it or at least that I haven't seen or heard.

Is there a simple fix out there that I wasn't able to find?

Thank you in advance for any suggestions that you may have.

hahah yea u can fix it. wen i was at the shop they made me hold the tip where i want it to be place (middle) and then someone else would have to tighten the bolts on the exhaust. so then it'll be kept at that height or watever.

Which bolts do you speak of?

I'm thinking its the rubber hangers that have to be adjusted, if that's even possible.

no, it wasn't the rubber hangers with my car. the bolts im talkin about are the ones connecting the exhaust together. not the one that connects catalytic converter and the exhaust together, but the one that already came with the exhaust.

If you took off the stock exhaust you might have noticed it had metal plates welded on to the hanger pins to keep then from sliding around. Most after market systems I've seen dont have those.
Once a week if needed I just put my foot on the exhaust tip and push it back in place.
I have the MS dual can, it moves a little sometimes but nothing big.

I have the borla. My left tip is perfect, the right one is slightly too far to the right. It's not that noticable, but when I wash the tips, I can fit my hand around the left of the left tip with a rag, on the right tip, I can't do the same around the right by the shroud.

There is no way to adjust it either. There are rubber hangers that hold the exhaust in place, but the exhaust doesn't slide around. the tip itself is just slightly off center, and would have to be bent inwards to be fixed.
