Every exhaust has to be ECE approved, so muffler artisans are out of the market...
OK, how about you post a picture(s) of your maligned exhaust -

Maybe we can see a solution -

Was this in regards to the hangars? maybe I used the wrong term. The rubber piece that attaches the muffler to the car. If it's not centered on the stationary post that's welded to the car it can have this effect. When I first installed my exhaust I had the same thing and I went under and shook things around a bit. Also noticed one of the rubber hangars was not sitting straight and centered across the post. Once I adjusted it it righted itself. A little water with some soap added should loosen it up enough to help it along.

That picture says a lot. You know they are disabled and how they got that way.

EDIT: Wait, that's a PA tag. Now it makes sense.

EDIT 2: $10 says that's walmart

Thanks, unluckily it's difficult to take a straight photo: the left tip leans out 1 cm more than the right one.

Bubba's LAST tip.

Spread a fender cover on the ground along side the offending exhaust piece. Lay down and kick the end of the tail pipe till it looks like the other one.

This is exactly what I have done in the past and would do again if needed. It works.
Well except I just laid on the concrete since I would not want to get a fender cover covered in grit.

My OEM and magnaflow exhausts were like this. My perrin was perfect out of the box.

One of my corsa catback tips stuck out a bit further than the other side as well. Loosening the bolts, adjusting it and retightening it fixed it by ~90%
