Exhaust tips

Just wondering - is anyone else noticing aftermarket exhausts don't seem to fit the cutouts perfectly centred?

My Greddy SP Elite sits with the tip slightly shifted to the driver side (so that the passenger-side tip is noticeably closer to the edge of the exhaust cutout in the bumper), and I noticed an FR-S on the street with the TRD exhaust which looked like it had the same problem.

Is this a common issue?

Well, daiheadjai ...... no exhausts look symmetrical to this old man .....

Why is that? Because I used to worry about stuff like that .... gave me high blood pressure and a stroke .... that messed up my eyes ..... so, NOTHING ever looks "straight".

I'd suggest you not stand directly behind cars .... always a bit to the side ... then you won't notice ..... keeps your blood pressure down .... reducing your chance of a stroke ..... and you will live longer ..... and be happier .....

I guess it's a non-issue if I'm focused on actually driving and enjoying the damn thing...
