Default Exhaust won't sit straight

Looking for any ideas from anyone, fitted scorpion exhaust very pleased as looks beta and does not drone. I have tried facelift rubber hangers tried bending the metal hangers on the car and the exhaust. I get it to sit ok then after driving seems to go back on the wonk, sits to the left. I know to some people I am to fussy but realy bugs me. So any ideas please?

Pics? Did you bolt it all into place and then tighten everything up once it was sitting nice and straight?

sounds like youve got so much torque, youve twisted the chassis.....















no i joke, you might have to bend the hangers on the exhaust, some stuff just needs a bit of tweaking for it to fit.

If the exhaust isn't welded 100% then no matter how much you adjust it you wont get the two silencers to sit correctly. Does the scorpion exhaust have flanges joining the different sections? If so maybe slacken them off and see how much movement you get on the flanges.

It bolts together with two but joints with 2 nut and bolts for each silencer.
