So I believe I have a ARC Titanium Exhaust System. It is one of these models from what I can tell (dual tipped).

It doesn't look right (sounds incredible for the record). I actually just had the car down at Vince's Auto body and they looked at it and believe it was mis-jigged during manufacturing. My question is, what can I do about it? I love the sound but it looks wrong. I also don't like the size of the tips (too big for my taste). It appears to have been extremely expensive for an exhaust (somewhere between $3 and $4,500). It also it the lightest one I've run across, so I feel I want to do two things.
1. Shorten the lengths of the tips between 1.5 and 2" (that shouldn't be too hard.
2. Fix the alignment on the pipes (that could get dicey).
I've been in contact with a Titanium welder, he said he would take a look but without the actual jig it could take some time getting right. I'm thinking I would take the car down while still on the car. Show him. Make some measurements and reference lines (ride position bottom, etc). Then take it off and let him take a shot at it. This could get costly or messed up which would be a tragedy. Not sure what do do.
Option 3 I guess could be to sell it with that knowledge. I could probably get a new exhaust for the used value of this baby (even in current condition).
Thoughts?
