Vantage quad pipe spacing

Had the factory sports exhaust kit installed. The spacing on the driver’s side of the pipes is correct. The passenger’s not so
much. Since the pipe lengths are the same my installer is at a loss on how to adjust the spacing. Any suggestions?

May be the angle of the photo but almost looks like the bend in the outside tube on the passenger side is a bit more than 90 deg.

I can think of two options:
1) Take it off, return the set as a quality defect and have them provide you a properly fabricated replacement
2) Get the car up in the air where you can get two hands on the pipe and give it a good yank. Repeat until customer is happy.

I suspect it could take several iterations of option one above before satisfaction is achieved, soooo....I'd go with the second option in the previous post.

I don't know how that one is attached, but most of the exhaust hangers I've been associated with would submit to a little brute force.
