I have to agree with some of the posts questioning the quality of this setup. I got a chance to (was unfortunately stuck) installing one of these this weekend. It kinda sucked. I wasnt impressed with the quality of the weld, or with the hanger placement at all. It takes a fair bit of tweaking to get it to look good. Once again a clear case of you get what you pay for, and in this case maybe a bit less. The pipes were nice, but it just doesnt cut the mustard as a bolt on kit in my mind

mine did the exact same thing, to the right, and it was touching at the top, and was too short
I unbolted everything and pulled it back as much as I could and now it's not too short anymore
The only problem is where they put the hooks on the muffler. I didn't use the rubber things to hook up the muffler and simply used muffler hooks I got at Canadian Tire for $25
I'm probably gonna go to a local shop and get the hooks moved for it to fit properly

The pipes go about 6 inches into each other. I simply unbolted my setup and pulled the pipes slightly out a bit (1 or 2 inches per connection). That way I got the perfect length and it got realigned/centered properly. Looks great now, and it’s not touching anywhere!
The rubber hangers are quite stretched at the muffler though, but it’s doable, at no cost.
I got compliments from random people the first evening I had it on, waiting at an intersection in traffic

Honestly it's too loud for me, sounds like an import if I rev it high enough.
I'll probably get pulled over without a res sooner or later anyway.
It's not bad quality as some pple here pretend.
Hooks are not poor quality, nor are the clips, and welds seem great also.
Best deal for performance and sound you can get.
And I don't care about SS really. The muffler + tip are SS, that's what matters. I'll worry about changing pipes in 5 years when they wear through; piping is freaking cheap on their website anyway if every you need to change sections of your cat in 5-6 years (most of us will have different cars in 6 years), so why pay more.. anyway, that's my opinion
For Canadians, I got mine when USD = $CAN, trust me it was worth it. But $CAN is going up the hill as the USD is going back down again this week; it might be the right time to buy again.
