Default Advice on V/H Big shot long

Advice on V/H Big shot long-pipes.jpgMy friend and I (mostly my friend !!) recently installed V/H Big Shot Longs on my 08 Fatboy. It seems the top pipe is slightly longer than the bottom. Every picture I've seen tells me they should be even. I've checked all the brackets and nuts etc, everything seems snug......Any ideas????? Please and thank you
