    AWE track exhaust installed, is this normal?

    Just got my pipes installed last week. Never noticed this on any other S4, but is the exhaust supposed to hang down that low?

    Looks like the need to rotate the pipes upward. If i remember correctly the only thing that was a little low on my setup was the awe resonators.

    System definitely needs adjustment. Tips are crooked too.

    Yeah besides the crookedness the left side protrudes out about an inch further than the right side. Going to bring her back to the shop now for some adjustments.

    Nope. That's hanging too low. Left side is way out of wack. Surprised they gave it back to you like that, looks terrible.

    Yes it does hang that low. I had the track exhaust on my S4 before and this was one of the reason why I didn't like it. I did try to adjust and bring it to a few indy shops but nothing would help. You are out of luck my friend unless you get another exhaust. =/

    how can a shop look at that and be like "yep looks good boys, let the owner know it's all done and fitted perfectly" i mean it looks bad ass besides the subtle misalignment which i just would think they would have got perfect before giving back to you. i'm not talking about it hanging low but rather that one side is closer to that center lip than the other . . . all very subtle, not that big a deal but i mean can it not just be perfect?

    We're good to go guys. Brought it back to my local shop for a quick adjustment. The shop said they pushed something too far up and it was just a quick adjustment. Definitely way more flush with the body now.
