Question crooked magnaflow muffler

I have noticed recently that my magnaflow muffler seems to want to angle itself down towards the ground in the rear. She's not sitting flat like she's supposed to. Also on the driver's side it seems to want to hang down farther than on the passenger side. Got underneath, everything looks rock solid tight, not quite sure why its doing this droop thing. any thoughts, experiences?

Mine sags horribly like you said. But, the tips come out looking ok so it doesn't bother me that much. Looking to get some Corsa clone on there soon though.

like said above tack weld it. Mine about drove me insane when I first installed it. I would loosen the clamps and hangers, re-adjust it all level and straight, take it for a drive and 1 tailpipe would point up the other down. So I had a shop chop off the 3.5 inch truck cannons and had them ceramic and powder coat my original tips and put them back on with a tack weld here and there.

My old magnaflow did the same thing. When I removed it, the muffler literally just slid off with my pinky forcing it. Not the best seal I'd imagine.....

Yep same here, when i had my read diff fluid changed they fixed my muffer/adjusted tips and put tack welds to hold it on place, now it doesn't move at all, and looks perfect!

Keep in mind, you guys need to polish these tips every so often, they get ugly pretty quick without regular cleaning.
