Either take it back to the muffler shop and tell them you arent happy with it or raise up the car...

What chassis is it? Coupe, hatch, 4dr?

The exhaust comes in 3 sections:

Rear, Mid, and B pipe. Its hard to screw them up, but its possible.

My buddy put his WS2 on wrong and had the same problems that you are having.

yup it can be. In fact the first day i installed it it was 180 degree and it tucked quite nicely in the groove. Only problem was that after 2 days of driving it shifted and locked me out of reverse so i had to flip it around as it is now.

I'm confused about what you're saying.

So you had the B pipe flipped around so it was bent up and it fit. And after 2 days with your exhaust piping that way, your transmission couldn't go in reverse? So then you flipped the B pipe to the way it is now, correct?

avoid bumps, lol jk.

Take it to a shop and have them put in some sort of straighter pipe.

OR-

Try flipping the pipe the other way? (rotate 180 degrees) Is that possible, so that the bend is upwards, or would that make contact with the car? just a thought.
