3" Downpipe Back Exhaust Fitment Question

I installed mine with a DC Sports downpipe a few weeks ago and just this past week have really been questioning the fitment. It sits so tight against my carbon fiber heat shield that it has already melted off a small section. Additionally, my very back hanger is being pushed to the left side of the hanger stud in a very unnatural position. I found another members pictures and mine sits very similar, so I will use that picture for reference.

Example 1 - The red X indicates where mine is rubbing.




Example 2 - The bracket with the red X attached to the exhaust hanger seems to be too short. If I unhook my back hanger and push the exhaust to the right where it should be, it stretches the rubber hanger about two inches. So from this I get the impression the bracket (red X) is too short by an inch of two.




So, did I install this wrong/missing something or did I possibly get the JDM bumper version by mistake? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Joe

Joe,
There is a fair bit of adjustment in the system which is usually the issue, but there is always a small possibility that we did something wrong in the build process. Give me a call at your convenience and we'll sort it out and make sure you're completely taken care of one way or another. Thanks Joe!

Tom

Mine fit perfect. Like Tom said, there is a little bit of adjusting you can play around with when you bolt it up.
