Are you talking about the tail pipes aren't centered in the rear? If so I think it's a common problem with the magnaflow catbacks.

You should be able to take it to a muffler shop and have them either heat it up and move it or take that side off from the muffler and trim the pipe some.

Same problem with the Magnaflow on my '96. I gotta tell ya I'm dissapointed in the whole damn set-up. It's vey quiet compared to other cat-backs and the driver side tail pipe is crooked. Good luck with yours because I still haven't figured mine out yet. I'm probably going to ditch it in favor of the Flowmaster of GMMG.

I'm taking mine off after my sniffer test and puttn on X-pipes..not only does the magnaflow sit sideways but that ginormous muffler bangs and hits on damn near every bump
