Bought new headers (Summit) because the ones that came with my Jeep did this. Figured it was a bent header... 
Anyways, not sure if I'm posting in the right section, but my header (and therefore muffler) is hanging down at a ugly angle.
Only the drivers side though...
The passenger side is fine.
Now i "can" cut v out of the top of the muffler and re-weld it straight. Before doing so though i was wondering if anyone had an idea as to what might be causing this.
Also heard heating evenly along the readside of the joint and carefully jacking up the tip might correct (bend) it up also... But again I'd prefer to try to solve it. That way when i buy the nice ones i want it wont be an issue.
Any Ideas?
