Am I being too picky ?

I installed my new Magnaflow exhaust a few weeks ago and no matter how I twist or turn the pipes the left drivers side is about an inch and a half wider than the right and seems to come out on a bit of an angle instead of straight out. Is this just the nature of a kit nothing is pefect or can it get better. Here is a pic.

You can't really tell from the picture. If you are not happy with it you may want to take it to an exhaust shop and they can bend it a little so you are. You can see what Magnaflow has to say but I would think that anything mass produced will fit every truck a little different.

Nothing is perfect. The owner will always notice the minor imperfections, people like myself will hardly notice it.

you can definitely tell its on an angle.. and wouldnt be happy until its straight. does it look as bad when the truck is on the ground?

Keep playing with twistng pipes and you should get it, gotta get the pipes turned just right or you are not gonna be perfect. On mine I have them angled dead on, positioned in the perfect spot-only thing out is the left side hangs down about an inch lower than the right and I cant get it right.

A muffler shop should be able to make it perfect
