I have the Magnaflow cat-back system part 15620 and my tips are much higher than that. I can't see far enough under your car to see what is different than mine. Have you tried lifting the tips by rotating the muffler where it connects to the over-axle pipe? I'm assuming your over-axle pipe is connected in the right place.

Okay, I looked under my car and I see what you're saying about the tip hitting the underside of the spare tire compartment. My passenger side tip is next to the spare tire. I took some pictures of mine. My car is really dirty under there, I feel like I should of cleaned it first. I hope this helps.

If that passenger side lip is in the way of the exhaust, you can use a special "clearancing tool" (hammer), and roll the lip over and up. Just make sure to seal that lip up again after whacking it, because flattening it will most likely knock off some of the factory seam sealer.

Mr_Exacto yeah i have the over the axle part fine and i have tried lifting the tips up but they hit the spare tire area there that your 4th pic is close too... i removed the spare tire to place a custom sub box but thats beside the point... would puttin a lip kit on the back make it look not as noticible to the point where i wouldnt have to break in my new clearence/fixes everything tool. or is there a way to bring it over with out making it look off centered??
