Check yours: Uneven exhaust tips?

After I had my park assist installed on my 09 CS by a P-dealer, I noticed one side of the exhaust tip sticks out about half inch more from the bumper. Call me an*l but it bothers the hell out of me.
Wonder if this is "acceptable"or normal, Can you check your C, CS, GTS, T, TS for me? Thanks!

Mine CS (Titanium Edition) came with the park assist installed from the factory, and confirmed that they look even.

My comes out a bit more and its noticeable enough for me to notice it. Also i found that side of exhaust tail pipe shakes more under engine revs/hard acceleration.

Just heard back from P dealer

My dealer says its completely normal that every 08+ cayenne the right exhaust tip sticks out about half or 3/4 of an inch compared to the left one.
Can you guys with 08+ please check this for me?

Thanks.

need a little chat with that dealer!

I have a 08 CS and checked mine - they are both equal!

go back and see them! and make him show you 4 or 5 08 cars at his dealership where the right one sticks out !?

Thanks for checking. I will have to goto the dealer I guess. Last time i did check a few 2009 CS on ebay, and the ones that show enough details in the back, one exhaust does stick out more! Maybe this is a 09 issue?
