Default New Borla system hangs a little low. Is that normal?

I've got the tips lined up nicely, but they don't fit in the cutouts in the valence as snugly as stock, maybe 1/2 to 3/4 inch low. I really can't see how to raise it up without shortening the hangers. Have any others run into this?

Default make certain that the center pipe is aligned properly...

if it's not perfectly positioned, the rest of the exhaust will hang improperly.

also, you can order the additional hanger that is present on the 180's.

Default Mine is the same way, but still looks good

Don't really see any way to raise it as it's on the hangars right...
How do you like the sound? I absolutely LOVE mine! Can't wait to go drive to work in the morning and on the way home. Who needs a stereo??

Default Hangin' low...

The Borla system I put on hangs about 3/4" lower than stock as well- I'm debating about "tweaking" the muffler hangers with a pair of vise-grips, but am concerned that if I do, the pipe will rattle against the bottom of the car...

Default Actually, I am not crazy about the sound . .

There is too much resonance for me. I am trying to get used to it. If I don't, I guess I will put it up for sale on AudiWorld.
