DC TCS not center
I installed my DC TCS Saturday, but for some reason my tip is not centered (if u know what i'm trying to say, the hole where the exhaust come out), two of my friends installed their DC TCS as well and they both got same result too. So is that the way it is or there are ways to adjust?

Well i guess u are looking at my pic. thanks for asking for permission! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG] just kidding. Actually it is not centered. I had a longer hanger, but unfortunately it fell off. If you want it to be centered you will need a longer hanger on the outside part of the exhaust hanger (towards the door). That will make it more centered. I actually have been melting my bumper because it isn't centered. I am too lazy to worry about it. PEace

i have a universal one and it was centered at first...then for some reason it went out of place..now its a little crooked...weird...i think its cuz i was on the fwy and scratch the hell out of the exhaust on the bumpy roads...oh well...
I went through 3 different TCS systems and finally had to mix/match parts from each system to get something that was reasonably close to centered. I finally sold the crap because it burnt a huge patch on the underside of my rear bumper. In addition, the system rattled profusely under my shifter and did not help my performance at all.
Call up DC Sports and ask for Jonathan Tung. Tell him you want them to send you a new system that fits properly. You'll probably want to take some digital photos of your exhaust and the damage caused by the offset tip.
Customer service is pretty good. DC Sports quality is not (used to be really good but it's gone downhill)

whats all the fuss about? i have the same system and before i put it on i asked around if theres anything i should know about, baisicly, it happens to all TCS systems.
all you have to do is buy a little blow torch, take the rear section off, heat the outer(passenger's side) hanger till glowing red(heat both sides of the hanger evenly), then with a vise grip pliers, pull on the hanger a till it moves a little. then, put it back on the car and see how it looks, if lyou need to, do it again till youre satisfied.
