I hope you have them centered!! It looks like it's all good now, but once the valence is on they might be off.

Should be awesome when it's done.

well they are perfectly centered now, spent about an hour tweaking it here and there...as long as the valance is centered and accurately made there shouldnt be a problem...just gotta get a valance at a reasonable price...slp or aftermarket, as long as it looks good

Your brave welding them on before you have the valence. Looks good so far though.

its only welded from the tips to elbows, the rest is just clamps for now...i dont see why it would be a problem as they are perfectly straight and level, we spent more time doing that than the whole exhaust combined lol
