Off-center exhaust pipes on rear JCW aero skirt

The twin exhaust tips on my '07 MCS w/JCW aero kit are not centered, and are about 1/2" from the left edge of the opening in the aero kit. Anyone have this problem? Is it a fairly easy job to shift the exhaust system position at the tail end? Warranty item? Thanks!

that sucks. Its might be a simple case of the rubber gromet not = on both sides on the muffler. If you can, look up from behind the vehicle and see that the rubber gromets are equally spaced. If one is more center than the other it will pull towards that direction.
It is probably just a careless install, and should be easy to adjust!!!

Thanks, Matty. I'll have a look under there. I tried to search for a picture of the JCW exhaust on the site but was unable to find one. My local mechanic has a drive-on lift ... I'll have to ask him to have a look as it's a 3-hour round trip to the dealer. Thanks again!

Worst case, you can minipulate the tip center by moving the rubber bushings for more torsion in whatever desired direction and "bolting them down". I had to mess around w/ my ALTA system, but it was really easy, it came with the hardware.. send me a PM if you need a better explanation.
