Hooker cat-back, post up please

could someone post up a picture of their Hooker cat-back exhaust. I just put one on a '95 camaro and the muffler looks way to close to the gas tank to me. It lays just about horizontal, but the back of it is within 1/8" of the shield under the tank. how's everyone else's ?

Around there. If it bothers you, just mess with the exhaust hangers a bit

Very close, but make sure it doesn't touch, otherwise vibrations might be loud.

I don't think mines any closer than 3/8"

You can do some wigling/adjusting where the intermediate pipe connects to the pipe that goes over the axle to possibly help the situation. Also, the drivers side exhaust pipe can be swiveled up and down, and that moves the muffler a lot. Just loosen the clamp where the pipe enters the muffler on the drivers side and move the end of the exaust pipe up and down. You will see it move the muffler quite a bit since that pipe swivels on the exhaust hanger. Then just adjust the passenger side pipe to match.
