Default Does my exhaust look right ?

So I installed these pipes last summer, they are cycle shack straight shots. I'm concerned if they are supposed to slope at an angle like it does or run parallel with the swing arm? I don't recall what they looked like before I took the other ones off but this was the first install I have done on my own and I'm just not sure if they are right. The bracket holds the two pipes together but does not fasten to the frame? Should they be different. Just wondering if I need to loosens them from the heads and try to turn them up but it feels like there is to much stress in them.

Please help?

They look OK to me. It may be your shocks changing the angle of your swing arm. Looks you put shorter shocks on the bike?

I actually just lowered it today wit a Burly kit. Now they really look like they slope but a drag pipe I thought was to go straight back.

If they are straight shots they should run parallel to the ground. Do not try to loosen the flange bolts and twist them you will break something. If they have a slip-on section that is where you can loosen the clamp and lever the angle. Hope this helps.

I think it's the swing arm that's the problem visually. I think the pipes look fine, it's just the swing arm angle is wrong.

Are you saying the only attachment is the two bolts at at each head ?
