Poorly fitting exhaust

Does anyone have experience of how the exhausts fit? I had new stainless headers from design tek fitted when engine rebuilt, but now I have one exhaust on the nearside sitting lower than offside and also the tips look like they've moved back out of the car by an inch or so more than they did before. It all looks ridiculous. Is there any adjustment on exhaust fitting? Surely the design tek ones should be the same dimensions?
 
The cats sit on clamps held by the rear engine hanger. All this should align up with the manifolds and mufflers. The mufflers are bolted to hangers over each bank - not much adjustment there. The tailpipes do have some adjustment, but only lateral (up/down and side to side) so should achieve a match left and right. I assume they fitted the gaskets to the tailpipes - if one if these are missing then may seem set back?
Not have experience with DesignTek, but possible they are not exactly same as OEM.
 
Thanks, Ive attached a pic, its not clear bu you can see the left hand horizontal pipe is definitely lower than the right, my garage has turned the exhaust tip up to try and compensate and it looks stupid, you can also see how far the tips sit out.
 
I can see what looks to be flexi-pipe on the left hand cat - not standard pipe on mine. Is the whole system by DesignTek? The tailpipes should only protrude 10-20cm.

Needs to be on a ramp to inspect the system. Possible you may be able to slacken all mounts and see if the muffler exit pipe can be shifted forward.
