Default Diamond Eye Install Problem

So finally got my 4" Diamond eye exhaust yesterday and installed it, and removing the old system really was the hardest part. But anyway got it all one and the hangers in the right places its all good only problem i have is the tail pipe comes out the side and points forward about 2-3" from were it should be. I recheck all connections and routing and see not problems.

I am down the possibility that it was bent to far from the factory?

but other then that the syestem is Great, You can Really hear the turbo now and it doesn't have annoying drone when just crusing along. acceleration is much better, and 4th Gear up a 13% hill she justs keeps gaining speed all the way up.

I also like that fact that they De-Bur the pipes be for shipping.

Just hope to resolve the Tail pipe issue as it Looks ridiculous, I bet it would have Great back pressure going down the highway though

Possibly a shop that does custom pipe bending could straighten it out or just get ahold of DE and see if they'll send a new one.

It was a long shot thought. Lamont looks as if it was flipped over it would point straight out the back.

It has been on every which way Possible

I was looking on DE Website and by the looks of it, the pipe shouldn't have that last bend in it that is causing issues.

Oh well i'll see what they say when i call, But on another note it does sound awesome.
