Is there a way to adjust the placement of the exhaust at all without cutting or anything? My passenger side sticks out farther than my drivers side just enough for my OCD to kick in

Make sure whichever side is out farther is seated all the way in the muffler

Looks good to me. I guess I could loosen up that clamp a little and hit it in with a hammer I just don't want to mess anything up and cause a leak

Side note I just noticed these trucks have a pretty serious driveshaft

If both are seated you could slide the one out a hair to match. And it shouldn't cause problems. It's after the muffler.

They won't be seized in there from the heat?

I think next time I go into the dealer next I'll just get OCD on them and have them fix it for me haha they're going to think I lost my damn mind.
My girlfriend is sitting right next to me and thinks I lost my damn mind too.

Are you sure it is your exhaust? If your OCD is kicking up on your pipes, what is it going to do if you find out your bumper isn't square?

Just saying... maybe your pipes are fine...

And yes, I suffer your same pain, so I feel for you.

x2 on the bumper, I'm not saying you're wrong, just saying it could be a possibility you're not seeing it totally square. Just saying from experience, when I put on my exhaust system the most difficult part was aligning the after market tips. The curves on these bumpers made it really difficult to eye up both tips exactly. I'm OCD with this as well so I feel your pain.

I'm taking mine to the dealer to have them readjust it. Should be covered under warranty

Brought it to the dealer and they said it was definitely off alignment and fixed the issue for me
