Hey man, yeah it was hard for me too, also on mine one side wants to sit a little higher than the other and damn near touches the bumper, I just kept loosening and re-torquing until it was almost perfect but yeah I had that problem too....it seems to me like the Borla kits fit exceptionally well but I love my Magnaflow.

impossible. Take it to an exhaust shop when you're ready and have them weld/cut it to fit

Oh, and don't bother contacting Mflow - I did, twice, no response yet, and it's been over a month.

The magnaflow comes with the driver pipe angled out towards the side of the car slightly. You will not get them both pointing perfectly straight back without modifying the tailpipes.
