RRM Exhaust

Search and didn't find a answer, I bought a RRM Exhaust off another member and when I went to put it on only 2 of the 3 hangers lined up. The top rear hanger isn't even close. Has anyone else had this experience or did the bracket get bent in shipping? Any help would be appreciated. I got it on and love it, just would like to get all 3 hangers hooked up.

It looks like your lower ruber mount is upside down I know its not suppused to be resting against the control arm and that upper looks like it could be bent

I've got my axle back sitting on the floor next to me right now and I can tell you this, looks like both hangers are bent! In the pic you posted the one on the left should piont "down" more and not "back" towards the sway bar. The other should piont striaght over to the rubber mount. Looks like it was bent to fit in the box when shipped or was smashed during shipping. Take it to a muffler shop and have them heat up the hangers and connect them correctly.

Thanks for the pic, I can print it out and take it with me to a muffler shop to straighten it out. Thanks to all who posted, I didn't think it was supposed to be like this, just wanted to see if it was me or the exhaust.

Went to a Mieneki (SP) muffler shop and they heated and bent the mounts. Gotta tweak it to get it centerd but it's all on now.

Trance, I fully agree with the sound, my daughter-in-law thinks it's the bomb and I like that it rumbles but is still kinda quite. Now working on a intake for the front end.
