Ok, just wanted to post a review. I have the Borla Hush catback. Because I'm a perfectionist, the appearance of the Borla Hush installed with the stock hangers was driving me nuts. It was "fair" at best, when first installed. Over time, it was shifting, and becoming worse. It was not only, out of center towards the left, but the muffler was actually tilted, or rotated clockwise so that it was not level at all. I ordered 3 kartboy extra longs. These are a much stiffer material, and are about 1" longer. I ended up replacing only two of the four. I swapped out the third hanger from the rear. I also replaced the left side muffler hanger. I know that changing only one side of the muffler may sound odd, but it was exactly the fix needed to level the muffler out so it didnt look rotated to one side. With this combination, my muffler is PERFECTLY centered, LEVEL, and appears to sit slightly lower which gives a MUCH improved visual appearance. It now looks like it should. Also there's plenty of clearance from the ground still, and plenty of room around the differential ( I dont have the protector). I used WD40 to ease the new ones on. Once it dries, its solid as a rock, and no movement. I recommend giving this a try, for anyone who's exhaust doesnt sit quite perfectly. Also, thanks to Tom at Kartboy. Though, some slight confusion with my order at first, he got it resolved, included a T shirt, a few decals, and some candy! haha. Now that it sits slightly lower, I was able to polish the stainless, to a great shine. I'll try to post some pics if I can. :banana:

Yeah lets see some pics. Mine doesn't move around so I've stayed with the stockers. I was thinking about going with the regular Kartboy hangers to see if that helps the slight uneven fit it has. (you can see a pic of mine in the Borla Hush review in this section) But I might consider the long ones depending how it looks.
