WMW Exhaust Fitment Issue?

Hi all,

I have installed WMW exhaust recently. I think it is not well centred. Any ideas? Please see the photos.

I had the same issue with a JCW exhaust. Turned out one of my hangers was shot.

You think so? Muffler hangers? I have ordered a complete set already. You think that would be it?

Loosen all exhaust fasteners, install your new hangers.
Have someone hold the tips in the center of the bumper slot, then start tightening from the front to the rear.
If that doesn't work, loosen all fasteners again, (even the two pipe attachment fasteners). Have that person bias the tips to the opposite side of the slot in the bumper cover that they "want" to go and hold them in place as you start tightening all of the fasteners.
