Installed a Borla touring axel back over the weekend.
it looks like the left pipe is a bit lower than the right pipe.

The muffler is snug on the hangers and tightly bolted down.

I’ve searched for pictures of similar systems and it also looks like the pipes are a bit off. Maybe my OCD is kicking in. Haha !
Let me know that you guys think.

Aside from that, this is a great system. It really woke up the 3.6.

Passenger side looks closer to the bumper, unless camera angle is weird.

The top pic is mine.
The bottom pic is the same exhaust system installed on a different wrangler.

I don’t notice it in the other picture, but did in yours. I personally wouldn’t worry about it. Probably only noticeable if you squat behind Jeep.

Pretty sure the hangers are adjustable. My exhaust was cock-eyed and I brought it to a local shop. When I got it back it looks like they simply adjusted the hanger. I neglected to ask but could be they're adjustable or the shop may have modified it.

Left is hanging a little lower than right, otherwise looks fine.

Um have you tried measuring it? :movember: (And yes it does look a little off but can’t tell if it’s area angle or shadowing from the light)

All good, how do you like the sound? What specific model did you get? As I recall they offer three different exhaust sounds.
I got the touring muffler, didn’t want anything to loud since the wife drives the Jeep once in a while.
So far I’m loving the sound and performance. I honesty feel that the Jeep accelerates a lot quicker than before, almost comparable to my 2013 x5 3.0.
Overall I’m happy with the exhaust system.
I have an appointment with a muffler shop tomorrow morning to see if they can straighten out the pipes.
So yes I definitely recommend Borla!!

Update:
Got my exhaust fixed and aligned properly. Went to a reputable exhaust shop and they confirmed that the muffler pipe was near impossible to fit on the stock system without modifications. They charged me 50 dollars and made everything fit perfectly.

Aside from this issue, I am extremely satisfied with the quality/sound and performance this new Borla system provides.
Highly recommended!!

Get a level and a measuring tape. It's honestly hard to tell with no point of reference and pictures taken at an angle.


Nvm see you resolved it, nice!
