anyone have any suggestions on how to adjust uneven tips vertically?

I was thinking zip ties but that is pretty trashy.....on of them just needs to go up about 1/4"

again one of those things that no one will notice but I do....so therefore it is a big deal haha

One of mine needed to come up a 1/4" as well.
I took it to a custom exhaust guy I know.
He put the truck up on the hoist, heated up the hanger, put a tall jack stand under the pipe, then lowered the hoist a bit (pushing up the pipe).
Perfect now!

I was gonna say take it back to whoever did it. Usually they'll take care of it if you see a MGR..... it's their fault not yours..

you can also loosen the clamp that holds the resonators and tips on, then ailign the however you want.

option two, stick a baseball bat in the tips and give it a little tweak.

take the handle of a broom or showel (wood) and bend in the direction you need. Worked for me and been good for months without loosening clamps or heating, etc.

Yea, I have the same with my B&B but my future father in law has a custom shop so were just going to loosen the clamps, adjust as best as possible and tac a brace between the two tips like the Borla. I'll post before and after when completed.
