One tip lower than the other...

Hey guys, I've had my Flowmaster 50 series si/do (rear exit) exhaust on my truck for about a year and a half now. As I was walking around the back of my truck today to get in, I noticed that one of the tips is a little lower than the other one now . I'm not sure if this has been a gradual process or if something happened. I crawled under and check all of the hangers (not sure if that's what they're called) that attach the pipe to the truck and they all seemed ok. Does anyone know what could have caused this? And more importantly, does anyone know if there's a simple fix?

It probably got bent somehow. Maybe are car backed into one and moved it?

See if you can move it up and down, the rubber in the hangers might be worn or broken.

A shop should be able to fix it. Even if they have to cut it. You probably had someone back into it. Happened to me once. My tip cut a perfect circle out of his plastic bumper. haha

People these days... Haha. Luckily my dad owns a shop and I work there when I'm not away at school. I'll put it on a lift and check it out next time I'm home.

Sometimes exhausts just settle into a different position as they go through many heat cycles. Gradually after expending and contracting so many times, they shift shape and settle into a bit of a different orientation. Most of the time, it's very minor, but sometimes it's just enough to be able to tell it's off.
