When I first installed my pypes set I thought that I had the same problem. I found that if you rotate the tail pipe/axle loop(??) even a little bit then the angle of the tail pipe changes alot. Your axle clearence stays basically the same but you get a different angle on the rear section of pipe. I will include some photos of how mine looks.

I have the Pypes 2 1/2" system and the mufflers don't fit where they should and my muffler guy said basicly it is what it is. I found out you should install these kits from back to front, I don't know if this would help your problem but just a thought. Good luck.

I would love to get you some measurements BUT my car is at the paint shop for final prep work. I expect to have it home for the weekend. If you can wait till then I will measure it up and get you the numbers. I went with the 3 inch exhaust but center to center should still be close.

I remember cutting the pipes both infront of the X and behind. Behind the X was just a trim (half inch off) but in front was more like 2 to 4 or even 6 inches off (it was 7 months ago so my memory is a little fuzzy). I put on dougs headers (obviously from the pics) so I had to get the header extensions from pypes too.

I will get back to you when I get my car home.
