What is aligning an exhaust system?

Aligning an exhaust system involves adjusting the components of the exhaust—such as pipes, hangers, and mufflers—to ensure proper fitment and function. This process helps to minimize vibrations, prevent leaks, and reduce the risk of damage to other parts of the vehicle. Proper alignment also ensures that exhaust gases are directed safely away from the engine and passenger compartment. Overall, it contributes to the vehicle's performance and longevity.
