Well I had a huge 4.5" OBX muffler on the car when I baught it, and I didn't like it so wanted to get a stock. Well, I did that, but it did not come out straight because the pipe was comming out at an angle. I don't know much about cars, but I just wanted to know how much you guys would think it would take to get it fixed.

or there may be a hanger missing on the drivers side of the muffler

Alright so I went to this muffler guy, he said this was the wrong muffler "off-center" and I needed an "off-off" muffler. His estimate said it was $130 muffler included. Think that could really be the solution and is that a fair price?

^Raise the bs flag!

Go to another installer. get the correct muffler installed and return this crap /incorrect one for a refund.

OMG - look at the exhaust pipe just in front (towards the front of the car) and there should be two bolts holding the rear section to the exhaust pipe. if they are still there, go to a mazda dealer and get a bolt on replacement. it will fit 100% and be as quiet as stock, since it will be stock.
