Issue with ZZP catback

[austinw24]

I installed my catback today and the tip seems to be hanging down. Everything is pushed forward all the way and everything is tight.

The exhaust is for a sedan and that is what I purchased. Here is a picture of the tip hanging down.

Ignore the crappy dip spray. I was just testing it to see how it looked before doing it for real.

Any help would be great.

A day light picture would help a lot more than a picture in the dark with what appears to be a cell phone and LED flash (a poorly aligned exhaust, chrome flare and black is about all I'm getting from it...). From the looks of it, it's the right exhaust, you might need to loosen all the clamps and adjust all the pipes until it sits right. This is the first case I have heard of a fitment problem with ZZP's exhaust parts.

I'll get one today after work. I tried to use my LED work light but it didn't turn out too well.

May need shorter hangers

ITS BEING HELD UP PARTLY WITH A ZIP TIE WHEN I WAS TESTING IF IT WAS THE HANGERS.

It is not a matter of poorly aligned exhaust. This is definitely not my first exhaust install. I have unbolted and slid the exhaust in and out and twisted every which was trying to get a better fit and it is definitely not the alignment.

My guess is because this is designed for the hatchback and not for the sedan. Hatchbacks may have slightly different placed hangers or it is "sagging" like that because that is actually where the bumper for the hatch is and it would fit flush with it. Just my .02

possibly but the muffler had "Sonic Sedan" written on it in sharpie. I ordered the Sedan option too direct from ZZP.

Nah that'd definitely NOT a hatchback muffler, here's a pic of my ZZP hatchback muffler to compare. Mine has a much smaller muffler tip and my hanger welds/bars look different, even though you can't see them in this picture.

I'd contact Steve @ ZZP and show him these pictures, see if he can't replace it for you or give some insight. steve@zzperformance.com - he's a good guy.

Sent an email to him. We will see what he says.
