I bought the car a few months ago and it came with a Greddy Ti-C catback. I noticed right away that the muffler is at an angle and sticks out a little awkwardly. I've noticed that other Evos running this same exhaust have the muffler coming out perfectly straight or barely at an angle and it looks fairly nice compared to mine. However mine is angled to the point where it's burnt my bumper. So after all these months I decided to do something about it. I went to 3 different muffler shops today and one shop said they'd charge $130 because they would need to cut the pipe and weld it to get it to come out at a straight angle. Two other shops said it's just impossible unless they redo the whole piping. At this point I'm wondering, is this how it's supposed to look like? Can anyone post some pics of their Greddy Ti-C or recommend what I should do? Here are some pics. Excuse the dirty muffler and piping, I plan to clean it once I have it angled correctly.
The first shop said they can just do a straight pipe for $150-$200 depending on the material I choose if I decide to sell this exhaust so that may be an option further down the road..

 

What kind or Downpipe/O2 Housing are you running? I have a full Perrin exhaust and it ended up slightly to the side when I installed a Muse O2 Dump so I'm wondering if that's related.

 

That is because that exhaust is made for JDM bumpers. USDM bumpers and exhaust go straight to the back instead of being angled to the side. I just use a SS shield on my USDM bumper and the HKS JDM style catback.

 

Yeah man I just checked mine. I have that exhaust. In the back I used only one hanger on the driver side. The passenger side wasn't used nor that exhaust was design for that . All you can do is try to unhook from the hanger on the pass side and see if it's straightens up a bit.the top side hanger of the canister I have as well as you.

 

^^ this.

 

It's still the stock downpipe. I haven't changed it yet.

That explains it then. That idea did cross my mind, especially since the fitment with this exhaust and the JDM rear bumper looks really good compared to the USDM bumper. Thanks for that info. I guess one solution to this would be to buy a JDM rear bumper Perfect excuse to buy one lol.

Thanks for the idea bro. I'll check it out and see what I can do. Do you have the USDM or JDM rear bumper?
