That is a design feature. The factory Syncro tail pipes are designed that way.

I just installed the go Westy entire s.s. exhaust . I am not fond of the tail pipe as it is angled incorrectly at the end of the pipe. The angle is wrong . It is shorter on the top and longer on the bottom . A small issue, but wrong nonetheless .

They say it "doesn't fit with the rest of the system" but the woman in the phone couldn't be specific-will it rub, face the wrong direction, or what?
