Hey,
When I got the exhaust, it was in 2 pieces, the larger diameter pipe of the muffler slips over the smaller diameter cat back pipe. From the look of the design, the two should overlap about 3 inches or so. It was very difficult to get the two pieces fully seated together. I had to twist them together before the unit was on the car, and mount the entire thing as one piece.
It is possible that your dealer put the two pieces on seperately, and didn't fit the connection as deeply as possible. You could have him put the car back on the lift (or you could do it with a jack & stand), loosen the clamp, and bang the two ends together with a rubber mallet to loose about an inch of length on the entire system. Within the rubber hangers, it looks like there could be a couple inches to play with, especially at the back of the car.
That's my thought... there really wasn't anything else adjustable on the system. Hope that helps, if you have any other questions, feel free!
