so i passed aircare today thanks to installing a cat. thought id get some exhaust tips welded in while i was there. there sweet but the guy put them on totally crooked. theres a 4 inch difference when you measure from the sides of the bumper cover and one of them is pointing down about 1/2 lower! guess ill have to pay him a visit tommorow. wish i had a pic, its horrible

Mine are slightly crooked, but not as bad as you're describing. I've been contemplating the rectangular 4th gen Z28 tips but I can't decide.

Sounds like what my Edelbrock cat-back looked like after I finished ham-fisting it onto the car... Having a buddy (or even your wife) there to help makes a big difference, though. Now, a shop did this to you? I had no one to blame but myself, but you might go complain and get them to fix it, maybe?
