Carven Progressive fitment issues

[Shanesrt8]

Any of you guys having fitment issues with your kits? I get the kit installed and the tips lined up perfectly go for a drive and the whole rear section seems to shift toward the drivers side. Everything is torqued to spec and installed per Carven's instructions. I am currently working with them for a solution. Here are pics of how much it shifts.

use a little lube and make the adjustments, You should be able to get a better fitment than that just gotta wiggle it the right way.

Did you do the install OP, or was a shop involved ?

My Borla was the same way on my 4th gen as far as having to realign the tips. Once I was done then I ended up swapping it out for my Corsa lol.

loosen all your bolts the entire way back to the muffler, spray the pipes with some wd40 or soapy water whatever you have handy. Start tightening SLOWLY from the back of the truck forward you should be able to get it taken care of easily just requires some finesse. Make your final adjustments and then hammer down on the tightening.

Good luck

Carven is sending me new hangers with "o" rings and are due in on Wednesday. I love the sound! Really nice and deep. Here is a link for my cold start just after installing the kit.

Now THAT sounds really good, how is it drone wise above 65mph ?

The hangers have no lip on them. I would guess this is what it’s sliding.

It's just a nice deep rumble. Doesn't bother me a bit!

My thoughts exactly. Quick fix would be to tack washers on the hangers

So it seems for my needs that the Carven Progressive is the way to go.
