Unhappy Fix for crooked exhaust ?

On my 06 Ultra, Where the right muffler and exhaust pipe meet,are out of alignment. At that point, the front of the muffler is about 3/4 to 1 in. higher than the back. I checked the motor mount and it's good, the engine is setting where it's supposed to, so how do I get the back of the exhaust pipe to get dropped down to meet the muffler straight? The bike has not been dropped, I'm tired of looking at it like that. Thanks

Is the bracket at the tranny the way it's supposed to be? Also under the saddlebags some of the aftermarket exhausts use spacers, I know D&D fatcats do.

Were all your mods done at the same time? Someone did a poor job of assembly. Loosen all the nuts and bolts fastening the exhaust system and try to get the alignment right. Then tighten everything back up. That's probably all it is.

Yes all the mods were done at the same time. The bike has the stock manifold pipes, but V&H Ovals. At the point where the muffler clamp is, it needs to go down at least 1-1/2 in. or more. Will the pipes move that much? I know that when you slide the Y pipe farther forward, it will try to rotate, but the left pipe will stop it from doing so. I'll try to do it again this week. It's supposed to rain off and on all week here. Thanks for the ideas.
