Mine sits at a *very* slight angle. if you're looking at the car from behind you cannot even tell. Only when you're under the car can you actually see the angle at all.

Go look at my custom exhaust thread and see how that sits. The muffler is angled.

Mine sits at the exact same angle as yours, unnoticable.

unless they can mandrel bend, which you are much less likely to stumble upon, you would be better off spending the money to get the mandrel bent kind. If you don't know the difference, do a search on mandrel bends vs press bends either on here or google.

Mandrel = smooth transitions that keep the diameter the same throughtout the bend. Finding a shop with a 100k Mandrel bender is like having yoru exhaust done at Magnaflow. Not likely. Most shops that will do this work will use pre-done bends.

Pressbent = less smooth transitions that bend the pipe and may reduce inside diameter on bands much over 45 degrees. Most of all exhaust shops can do this piping in house for very inexpensive.
