Hi Jacky,
Thanks for sending pictures. All of our exhausts are made in fixtures so the chance of the system being welded or assembled incorrectly is slim.
Here are some suggestions. It helps to have someone with you to help.
We recommend loosening all connections from the front to the back including the clamp on the muffler section. This will let the system move in the hangars. Now have someone position the tips evenly on each side. Once it is even tighten the system from front to back. Make sure the tips are far enough out on each side to avoid melting the bumper. You may have to trim a small amount of the plastic on the inside of the triangular trim pieces. Since the rear clamp is a slip fit you can move the tips around and tighten the clamp so the tips are even.
We understand your install shop told you the kit is off slightly. We install many of these and have many other shops doing the same. There is enough adjustment built into each system you can get it to line up correctly without having to cut and weld anything. At most, tapping the bracket with a rubber mallet will align the rear section if the adjustments at the flanges aren’t enough. There is always the possibility a bracket was bent in shipping.

Well those are some from sema lol but I have them on cd for ya. I keep forgetting to give you your gift and cd lol dam.
Hey guys check this out;
Sounds like fun. I will keep you all posted when I get more info 
Hey guys check this out;
As I stated in my introduction post, I plan Mazda corrals For Mazdaspeed Motorsports, well, we have partnered with Grand Am to bring you "The Grand Am Experience", presented by Mazda!
Grand Am noticed how well our LRP events have progressed during the last two years, so they tracked me down and want to move forward, by using our template to host events across the country. I can tell you that a lot of exciting things will be taking effect for 2009!
All of the ideas presented to date have been met with a lot of excitement, all of the Mazda teams are solidly behind the entire idea as well. Here is just a few of the highlights of our discussions.
1. Parade laps at all of the tracks (if permitted)
2. Tram transportattion for all corral atttendees (where possible)
3. Tech Talk with KONI, Hoosier, Pirelli and Grand Am Race Officals
4. Photoshoots with all Mazda teams, drivers, crew, etc
5. Hot Pit Tours
6. Pit Stop Challenge (corral members will be able to witness an actual pit stop from behind the pit stop wall.
7. Timing and scoring tours
8. Pace Car laps
9. Crew member for a day on a Mazda team (we will hold drawings)
10. Sponsor swag
11. Dedicated webspace on the Grand Am website, with information on upcoming events, ticket prices, etc.
12. Discount ticket prices
Thse are just a few of the things we have on the table and Grand Am is excited at the possibilities. We will be finalizing a few things during Daytona , so stay tuned for more updates.
This is going to finalized by Saturday morning, and we look to be holding our first full event @ Homestead Miami. Cory has agreed to work with me on this, as I am assembling teams across the country to volunteer and make this happen. Mazda was chosen as they've seen our corrals here in the Midwest and East.
So, we are planning a huge event @ Miller Motorsports Park and we;ll have a large event @ Mazda raceway as well. You guys will have access to all of the Mazda teams, SpeedSource, (I am crewing for them @ Daytona), Racers Edge, Dempsey Racing ( Yes, Patrick will be there, he has become a good friend of ours), Freedom Motorsports, Team Sahlen, Meyer Motorsports, Pirate Racin and more.
You will get to meet all of them one on one, no waiting in line, have tech talks with the drivers and crews, as well as the sponsors, KONI, Pirelli and more! I will keep you guys informed and if you know of any other Mazda boards, local, regional and national, please let me know and have them contact me so we can get huge numbers. Remember this, they came to the Mazda owner, not the Porsche owners, BMW owners, Pontiac, Corvette, etc, but us fo rthis program..if we make is successful, they may let the others come in, with out permission of course.
UPDATE:
Ok, guys and gals, here's the skinny on "The Grand Am Experience for Mazda Owners...
Grand Am has agreed to everything that we've proposed.
1. Parade Laps
2. Hospitality tent or indoor facility when available
3. Tech Talks with KONI, Hoosier, Pirelli and Grand Am Officials
4. Driver Meet and Greets (private)
5. On site lunch or dinner at the Sahlen's food tent ( usually reserved for drivers, crews and special guests)
6. Track Tours
7. Pit Crew Challenge
8. Crew member for a day on a Mazda team ( by drawing)
9. Pace Car rides ( by drawing)
10. Swag from series sponsors
11. Eric Meyer or another driver-owner will do a Grand Am 101
12. Crew Chef Q & A where you can get some advice from the leading crew chiefs
They are working on our dedicated web page, for registration, track info, etc....
We wil have access to the Toshiba informational hauler were we can print out schedules, have staff meetings and use as a staging area as well. there is lots more to come, as I just hit the main highlights of our program.
Looks like the Miller Park and Laguna Seca is as close as we get to Vegas this year. May 15-17 for Laguna and September 18-19 for Miller in Utah.
