Possibly for clearance issues? My GTI was like that too (Flowmaster muffler tho).

Mine is a bit shakey...has a tendency to move around a bit at idle.

See, they had to install the Flowmaster a bit crooked to clear the heat shields.

And OT, the shop told me they were going to do mandrel bends, and I never bothered to look into it, but looking back, it looks like crush bends to me??????????

thanks...its 100x nicer looking

and, because the megan sounds stock-ish when driving around normally, you cant really see i even have an exhaust if youre right behind me (as the megan doesnt have a rolled or double walled exhaust tip)

Do you think exhaust shops are able to modify the exhaust hangers so that it sits level?
Or is the actual axle-back piping welded on crooked to the muffler?

You really only need to buy rubber exhaust hangers of varying lengths to get the pipe to sit at your desired angle.

could bend the hangers...but im lazy, flat black paint was easier
