Mishimoto axle back

Hello everyone,
I am new to the forums and I wanted to introduce myself and ask a question.
I installed the mishimoto axle back this weekend and I don't like how it is not really centered in the cutouts. Anyone else have this issue and if so, what were you able to do to correct it?

Thank you in advance.

loosen the clamps and readjust the axle back portion, you could also try adjusting just the tips if they move at all or try bending the hangers a little bit to have them sit better.

Welcome! Thanks for purchasing our Axel Back exhaust. Altering how the tips sit in your cutouts will require some movement and readjustments of the clamps as [MENTION=25973]kluke15[/MENTION] mentioned.

Did you get the Pro, Street or Race version of the exhaust?

Thank you
I took it to a muffler shop and they made some adjustments to the hangers.

I had a muffler shop adjust the hangers.
I purchased the Race Version with the dark tips. Looks incredible and sounds even better. I really like that the tips are 4.5" instead of the 4" that everyone else produces.

I just ordered the Race axle back, black tips. Looking forward to the install. Insight on durability of the back tips being high temp paint vs powder coat?

I think they use powder coat. Mishimoto could answer that better than I.
In regards to durability, I don't drive it everyday and it sits in my garage under cover until I get a nice sunny day. Maybe 100 miles on it since the install. (Live in Michigan) But I can tell you that you will not be disappointed. I still have the resonators and it sounds incredible.

Good to hear! Thanks.

You may need to adjust the hangers to get the tips centered.

I bought their pro axle back. When it arrived it was obvious that someone else had previously installed it because paint was missing on the tips where the clamps were. The paint was stuck to the inside of the clamps. There were also some paint chips on other areas of the tips. Needless to say I wasn't very happy about that. So I returned it to American Muscle.

I was on the fence between that set and Borla S-Types. Since Borla's black tips are black chrome, I switched.

Just a warning to handle the tips with extreme care.

Sorry to hear your exhaust tips came with damaged paint, that shouldn't happen. This exhaust you ordered was brand new, correct?

Correct. From American Muscle. They weren't sure why a used system got sent out.

I was very happy with their customer service regarding the RMA. Even posted about it.

Ordered from AM the Race Axle back. Nothing is more exciting than seeing the big brown truck drive up to your house. Appointment is already made with the shop for the install tomorrow because you're monitoring your tracking number and you just can't wait (yes it's what car guys do). Cutting open the box just like it's Christmas morning, and a grown man has suddenly become childlike. Wait.....are you kidding me.....this can't be, throwing bubble wrap everywhere as the manchild begins to shake uncontrollably. One, not two, hugeeeee black exhaust tip. How is it possible to forget a 2nd tip! Two pipes, 4 clamps, and "one tip." Helloooooooo quality control. :doh:

So I wait patiently for the part to be sent out .......AM apologized, and now hoping for expedited shipping.
