But, back on point. I know that fitment can vary and better shops will ensure the alignment is spot on, even to go so far as to cut and re weld to get things just right.

I read that with the UR exhaust you can get one of the pipes installed backwards which would make it not align. That must be the older UR. Mine had a sticker on each pipe saying 1 of 4 and 2 of 4 and had an arrow pointing the way the exhaust should flow.

seems multiple people with UR exhausts over time are having fitment issues, specifically the driver side sticking out an inch or more in some cases. Again it happens gradually...working with the manufacturer to get some answers on this.

I have the same issue one hangs lower than the other
