Bassani

Just installed my new bassani cat-back. This thing looks and sounds awesome. No gain on the bottom end but on the top end it seems to have more legs and it just roars .

The only hard part was getting the old exhaust off. Now all I need is my cat pipe set up from RTKILLA and I will be set.

The only problem is my rear tip hangs lower than the front one, is this normal and if not what have you guys done to fix it?

My tips where at the same height. The only thing I can think of is loosen all the clamps and try adjusting the tips again.
BTW... you didn't use those POS Bassani clamps did you? If you did you better run, don't walk to the auto parts store and buy some regular muffler clamps. The Bassani don't hold

Mine seems to be the same way......I havent tried to adjust it but it might come up if you loosen the clamps and wiggle it around a little.

When I originally installed my Bassanni cat-back, I was in a rush to hear how it sounded and the tips were not lined up right. I just loosened all of the clamps (don't forget the bolt right before the X pipe that lines the two pipes up) and put my floor jack (with rags on it so you don't scratch the tips) under the tips to hold them exactly how I wanted them to be lined up. Then just crawl under the truck and tighten everything down. When you remove the jack, the tips will drop down a tiny bit, so you may want to jack the tips up until they are almost touching the cut-out in the ground effects. And like Fast Gator said, ditch those Bassanni clamps that they give you. I just looked at them when I took them out of the box and threw them straight into the trash.

My tips are offset as well, but they fit well into the stock position (after some repositioning). It's just the back tips slightly lower than the front
