>From what you said here Jay, it really sounds like you just need to loosen 
and readjust the system so that it fits right. When I installed my TT 
system, I had all kinds of allignment problems. The easiest thing to do is 
when you get the entire system installed, dont tighten anything tight yet. 
Leave it all somewhat loose so you can adjust the system from the front to 
the rear. Even still, leave it loose but maybe tighten it enough to keep 
what you have adjusted from moving around. 

Then when everything looks like it should be where it goes, torque the 
system down. I has problems with my rear muffler not wanting to sit where 
the old muffler was. I ended up having to turn it verticle to keep it brom 
bumping into the spare tire wheel well. Hopefully you didnt tighten it too 
much so you can still adjust it to where it needs to be.
