Just got my RPI Scoop and exhaust installed this evening... needless to say I am SHOCKED with the difference in performance; even the dealership where I got the job done were amazed, awesome!!
One issue though... my tips seem to be hanging very low. Please advise... how do I get them to position properly.
PS: Please ignore the paint job inside the tips... need to get this stuff redone or something.

RPI posted a thread on how to adjust the height of the tips to your liking. I will look for it and try to link it before Gene does

The RPi axle back exhaust is designed to fit just right if the exhaust is cut and clamped at the correct location. We understand that this is not always possible as there are differences in each car. The exhaust tips are extended allowing for adjustability of height and length of which is sticks out past the bumper. To move the tips up and in, simply push the exhaust towards the front of the car and tighten the exhaust band clamp. The diagram below gives an example of what the exhaust rubber hanger alightment will look like. The clocking angle of the hanger will change the vertical distance between the exhaust and the car.
Is this it???
