Doesn't sound right; gotta see these pictures. If it really is a manufacturing issue, which I doubt... you can go through the hassle of sending it back, or just cut off the hangers, shorten, re-weld. If that's the case, I hope you have a TIG or know a buddy that does.

I'm loading pictures right now.

I'm not so sure either. It might be a manufacturing issue. =/

Did you install a testpipe/HFC at the same time?

I would reccomend bolting them both up and then looking for adjustment up front. Any small adjustment up front makes a huge difference in back

Ima go out in a bit once its cooler outside and put the second bolt back up on the hanger. this is just the catback. im running the stock cat. i just emailed the seller and he said he'll check out if it was a manufactor defect, because the two hangers seemed pretty narrow. I appreciate your help guys.

Am i looking at this right? There are two bolts holding in the hanger. you removed them and moved the rubber hanger to the right using only the right bolt hole on the left side of the hanger?

yeah. correct.

i just put both the two bolts back on. i think its a tad bit higher than the pictures up there. but still, its not up as high as i like it. i might have my uncle re-weld the hangers for me. im thinking probably one of the hanger was welded in the wrong position... the rubber hangers are kind of stretching with both of the two bolts on the hanger.

yeah...?? a buddy of mine got the same one, but his fitted perfectly =[
what im thinking is probably one of the hanger is placed and welded on the wrong spot. the hangers dont spread out much. there is alot of gap on the piping and the chassis where the hanger with the two bolts are. do you guys think a simple welding on those two hangers and a bit of movement will do?
