Without looking at your pics, the Dynomax dos not fit anywhere near as well
as the stock setup. IMHO, mostly due to mandrel bends, partly due to
manufacturing tolerances. You have to bend/wrestle/swear at them for a
decent ft, but they will never look as good as a stock setup.

 

FWIW, when my Dynomax pipes died, I went with the stock catback pipe with
the Dynomax mufflers. I felt no power difference, and the fit was FAR
better.

I am STILL having trouble with the fitment of my Dynomax exhaust, the
drivers side muffler is WAY low and there seems no way to arrange it so it
will sit any higher.

 

I am suspecting that I received a bad rear Y-pipe; that the pipe for that
side is at the wrong angle.

Should this pipe be higher?

This seems too high, no?

Not acceptable....

I would like your thoughts and opinions on this.

Does anyone have any tips/suggestions on how to get the drivers side muffler
to sit higher?

I have it mocked up, but not clamped anywhere yet.

The strap around the muffler with the hanger is tight, but seems to let it
hang about 1.5-2 inches low.

 

TIA
