Look at my home page (Lame @SS in sig), last picture. It's not horribly bad, but I'm going to look into whether I want to straighten it out or have satan(any of my local dealers) do it. Maybe it's just bracketing, maybe it'll need bent. They scuffed off the undercoat (which I didn't expect to even have) when they pushed the squarish rear portion up under the car.

There didn't seem to be an easy adjustment with hangers or anything, so I took it to the dealer. The dealer took a pry bar to try to bend the hanger bracket, but all he ended up doing was scraping some of the painted metal the underside of my car. So then he sent me to a local muffler shop. It took them two tries, but they heated the lowest elbow on the right pipe till it was red-hot with a torch and bent it upward. The first attempt didn't really work because he heated it, then tried to bend it but it cooled too quickly. The successful second time, he put a tall screw-jack (don't know what it's really called) under it, pushing it up into position first, then heated it, allowing the rest of the assembly to fall under its own weight and voila - everything was in place. Hope this helps those that are "living with it".
Looks great now. I'll have to take another pic when its clean and replace the one on my home page.

Mine is straight on my 2000 SS. I did look at the pic on your website the other day and your exhaust was noticeably off. Glad you got it fixed.
