Exhaust tips misaligned?
Anyone else have the pair of exhaust outlets not quite centered in the rear bumper cutout?
Not a huge deal, but kind of bugs me.
Seen this on another C63 coupe, but wondering how prevalent it is.

They can be adjusted, you have to loosen the clamps. Driver side the clamp just in front of the rear axle and the passenger side the clamp in front of the res.
It's a pain in the dick but doable...

I had this same issue where the left side tips would always hang lower than the right side.. This was after I did secondary cat and resonator delete.. Had my shop try to get it aligned again but it's still hanging lower on the driver side, could be that they didnt adjust it prior to welding, its not a big deal to me but is kind of annoying at times when I see it..

On mine it's the stock exhaust tips that are not hanging lower or higher, they are not centered horizontally within the bumper (fake diffuser) cutout. Each side needs to move out to the sides of the car more.

I understand what you're saying but a photo would help immensely.

Funny your star is a tad crooked... now try to not keep looking at it.

Honestly, it does not look too bad at all (at least from that angle). If you had not pointed it out (e.g., if you had posted that photo and asked "Anybody see anything wrong here?" - I would not have noticed anything).
I know that is not of much use. Just trying to offer some reassurance/perspective.
PS - Star looks fine to me. Probably just the angle. Either that or my eyes or going bad. Last time I had them checked though, they were 20/10!

I've looked at 4 coupes on the road and they are all slightly off, like mine.
It's the small plate holding both exhaust pipes under the car, near the fuel tank, that is the culprit.
It's not a big deal and I'm sure could be adjusted. Before I enter my car at Pebble Beach in 35 years maybe I'll ask the restorer to fix it!
