Default Mufflers keep going askew
Just put on a new Roush muffler setup and centered them and after the drive I noticed that they drifted off center and one was bumped against the diffuser. What do y'all suggest?

Tack weld the clamp to the pipe on both sides. I've had this issue before.

Any muffler shop can do this. I'll ask some of my buddies if they have one more local for ya instead of driving to north dfw.

Or just break out your big boy arms and get the clamp tight.

The clamp was tightened down as far as they would go, metal to metal
