I have the same catback and love it! Sound is amazing! However I too have had some headaches with getting the pipes aligned. I would suggest looking at the pipes coming from the cats back to the axles. Make sure those are where they should be and the clamps are TIGHT! I had a recent issue where I had to take off the driver side pipe to work on my UCA. I accidently got the middle section pipes twisted a bit too much and it caused the muffler section to move. I would suggest to try and move around the pipes in the middle as well and make sure those are super tight. With this catback there are 6 total clamps you have to make sure are super tight to prevent it from shifting. Having a friend hold things in place is always helpful too.

This is kind of what I thought. The bad thing is it all looks aligned until you drive it lol. So I guess it is a guessing game.
