    I noticed on my GP that the driver's side exhaust tip hangs a little lower. Its my DD, so I'm not too concerned. But I saw the same issue on another GP this morning, and yesterday while backing my car out of the driveway I scrapped the street. Is my best "fix" just to take a mallet and hit it a few times to make it even? It's only cosmetic, so I'm not taking it to a shop for a touch up. And I'm not shelling out the cash for a whole new exhaust, even though that will fix it, too.

    Well beating it to death works I suppose But most people use a heavy duty zip tie strapped around the rubber bunge that holds up the muffler. Just fasten the zip tie around the bunge, and then push up the muffler till its in the desired spot and then tighten the zip tie. That will hold it in place

    I used worm style hose clamps, there easier and adjustable to get the tips just right. You'll need 4 clamps
