Well, I finally got the tips that were supposed to come with my GMMG exhaust. They are sweet. As soon as I can, I will get a pic and post it. They are polished right now, but I am not sure whether they would look better gloss black.
Any, Jack, where do you get that extra exhaust hanger? I need to put more near the ends to raise it. It hangs way too low and there is no way of tilting it up from the stock brackets.

Just try to adjust them by loosening the tailpipe Ubolts and raise them. If you add hangers you will end up with rattles totally uncool.

Not possible. The exhaust is a single welded piece from the over axle pipe to the tail pipes. Then you clamp the tips on the end. So the chambers where the muffler would be and all the bends are welded together, so there is no adjustment. I was hopeing to put another bracket near the tip mounting point that will just pull the ends up farthers. They hang like 2.5 - 3 inches below the bumper.

Then adjust it before the rear down would be up. I had a problem with mine here ended up welding it and then I got the clunk when I hit a bump. However mine is adjustable before and after. How did you get that thing in?

Oh, I thought you got that back hanger seperatly, I guess I am going to have to find something to make it work. The over axle pipe is 2 pieces. One comes fromt he Y and curve up infront of the axle. Then the upside down J over theaxle throught the pipe to the tip is one piece. I was just going to put 2 more hangers similar to the one on the drivers side to tilt the exhaust so the tips are closer the th bumper.

Can you elongate the existing bracket hole mounts so as to make it adjustable.

I am serios on the next two options:
option one heat and bend the two exit pipes

option two is to use a floor jack and a flat board and gently bend the system ever so slightly and then double check for fit.

Thanks for the suggestions Roy.
I did some work on it tonight.
To start with I bent the drivers hanger out and up. This meant the mounting was higher there. Then for the other side since it was never really even, I got a big crowbar and tweaked the passenger chamber section, so that it tweaked the tip up. The sit alot better now. I think they are pretty much even also. Thanks for the suggestions.
