hooker catback people come in please..
hooker catback people come in please.. I installed my hooker cat-back today and was wondering if it is installed correctly? My tips stick out about 2 or 3 inches past my bumper, it looks hideous. Is this the way it goes, or do I need to pull the I-pipe tighter to the y-pipe? My hooker connected about 1 or 2 inches farther back on the y-pipe than the stock exhaust did. Is this right? If not, how can I move the whole assembly back, the muffler and over axle pipe look like they are in correctly, in fact, if I move the axle pipe back it looks like it will rub the heat shield. The dent in the axle pipe is exactly over the panhard rod.
Also, is there a trick to getting the tips tight, I screwed the hell out of them and they still wobble.

FYI, they sat in the same place as the old tips.

ok, so I got up under the car again today and reversed the clamp that holds the passenger side of the muffler up, and I got the I pipe fully seated on the y-pipe and it still sticks out way too far. One side more than the other too I think. I see a trip the exhaust shop in my forseeable future. Take an inch and a half off the passenger side pipe, maybe 2 or 1 3/4 off the drivers side and it will look sweet.

Yeah just take some material off of them and safe yourself a headache. I had a similar problem once and I placed a block of wood on the tip and banged it back with a hammer. It slid back just enough to even up and no the tips didn't get damaged when I wacked the block of wood with the hammer
