How is that wrong? Without the adjustable bracket, it will be lopsided.

exactly.. because they didnt make it right to begin with.. that hangar should be at a 90 degree angle when done right, not diagonal..

X2. Plus, who's really that OCD to even look under and complain about a "non-angled" bracket? Can't satisfy everybody.

I used a ziptie or a small clamp on the other end to keep it sliding and avoid the stress of the hanger.

I'm using a split collar ring to keep mine from moving. Works like a charm.

Do you any pics of that collar ring Installed?

I don't but I posted a pic on a previous post of this thread. IMO, it works better than the typical adjustable strap. POST # 389.... PAGE # 20

Even after reading all the reviews here I was still expecting some flimsy exhaust system that I could bend with minimal effort. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality, decent welds, good bends and nice weight.
The adjustable hanger made it super easy to align the tips easily and quickly. Some might not like the way the hanger looks but it functions well plus who is going to see it, ever. I spent $1,100 on a quality catback for my Genesis last year that required bending every single hanger so the tips would line up properly. This exhaust only needed 1inch cut off the downpipe connection so I could have some adjustment for the tip depth and that was just my personal preference. It would have looked fine without doing any cutting. Don't know how these would hold up on the east coast but I think it will last me a while in this CA weather.
I get what your saying "you get what you pay for" but sometimes when buying those expensive name brand catbacks "you don't get what you pay for". This setup makes me feel like I got a very good deal and that makes this guy a happy camper...

Am using this as well, thanks to nvturbo and works like a charm. Been 6 months and once I put it on, haven't had to adjust it at all.

Don't worry about Plac/2013R. He changes parts as often as people change underwear.

well said indeed, well said.
For the alignment, I asked a exhaust shop to cut the two piece and welded into one, so now it pretty much perfect (and no leaks too!).
