My exhaust pipes seem to be crooked. On the left side, the exhaust is going up and on the right side, the exhaust is going down. Is this common? And why is it like this? The dealer should be able to take care of this right? It is under warranty.

... it is quite common ... all you have to do is to 'bend' the hanger on the 'low side' so it up further ... no big deal :)

Easy to do yourself, or yes, the deadler will do it for you.

I had a muffler shop straighten mine for me... Took less than 5 minutes and they did it for free. :) As Kelly mentioned, all it takes is to slightly bend a hanger.

It's a little hard to see, but in this pic you can see the pass. side hanging lower than the driver's side. :)

Yes, that's exactly how mine looks right now. Ok, I'll give it a try. If I fail at bending it, i'll just take it to a shop. Thanx guys.

i dont know that most shops would do it for free but you can see. The dealership should do it for free. the only thing about bending it, is that it might be a bit hard sine you would have to be under the car. unless you can lift it a bit.

nope, have no where to lift it and I don't have a garage. I'll see what I can do.
