They cant be fitting them properly then, some people angle them to stop the rubbing of the exhaust clamp when lowered on its arse

Mines fine as well. Theres a few guys round my way that have them at an angle for the reasons already mentioned, only other reason is that they can't fit them properly lol

I always thought they come out angled so they followed the curve of the bumper if that makes sense?
If you want one that comes out dead straight a Janspeed one is what you want.

I think mine comes out straight.
Racetube centre with a decat is too loud, over 100db full throttle under load.

I agree, too loud and its just silly. Theres an old fiat panda round my way and its rediculously loud. I think i would not want to draw any extra attention to myself if i was driving it
