Does anyone know how to adjust my exhaust tips left to right

As with subject, my exhaust tips are bothering me. Its not by much but want to get them aligned.

This is what it looks like now.

The height's are OK and generally in the right place. A gentle tap with a rubber mallet onto a small block of wood positioned on the right hand inside edge of each tip... The joint between the tips and the exhaust pipe is generally speaking, in the same horizontal plane as you want to adjust, so should be ok. You wont damage anything if it doesn't go to plan, they just wont necessarily be exactly where you want them...

Thank you. I'll try that. I was nervous about doing just that.

C4Sbolts clamping the tips are slightly different to other 996 I believe. There is a link pipe between the tip and the back box/muffler. The tips have a clamp bolt to the link pipe and the link pipes have a clamp and bolt and nut that go to the back boxes. The bolts can be seized so give them a douse of Plus Gas or similar and don't go bonkers trying to loosen them as they shear or round the bolt heads. With everything slightly loose you can adjust them up/down. sideways and in and out to get perfect alignment with the rear bumper cut outs.

I have just removed my exhaust system and cleaned up the very clamp that has been mentioned. I suggest you sprat the clamp bolt with WD and as mentioned a little tap should do the trick, id not then just losen the aforementioned WD'd bolt and er apply the hammer. You migh need to get the back up a few inches. If you live near n london i will help you apply the hammer Obviously i meant spray, a sprat is a small fish.

Thanks mate I'll give it a go first.... I'll raise the back, get some spray on it and then tap it with the mallet. I'm in Redbridge right by London . Thanks to everyone else too that responded.

Oops.. didn't take much. Even after this freed itself and I loosened the top part of the pipe it wouldn't budge.

It doesn't appear you have any height issues, more sideways, but I had a droopy left tip until I fitted new engine mounts, not sure if this could also be effecting yours...?

Mounts are OK. It's the left right movement that I want to address. Hoping as long as I can get it symmetrical ill be ok. I tried with the right pipe to move it out and that's the clamp that failed. Don't want the same to happen again with the left so will put on a new clamp first. Also for now I've secured it with strong cable ties. Hopefully it doesn't melt with the heat!

Whnen I read the title of the post, thought to myself that it might be a C4S... in my experience (noting that I have Fabspeed silencers) there isn't much adjustment in the tips left to right - it's the exhaust itself. But I think it is a case of diminishing returns, and to get them perfect is nigh on impossible. Get them 80% and be happy with that!

I think you might be right. They went funny after the Milteks went in! Left one didn't really move much but the right one did. Anyway I might just put the clamp back on when it arrives and be done with it.

So I've managed to add some more lubricant to the 16mm bolt that holds the tailpipe and I've managed to get some rotation but it doesn't move in the way I want. It doesn't go up and down but when I rotate the right pipe it comes down too low but centred. The left pipe rotates too but again this doesn't move towards centre. It just goes higher and lower on that far llet side when rotated. Don't think there is any give here at all so put it back to a place that's best for it which is similar to how it was before I started. New clamps ordered so I'll sort that permanently soon.

How about nudging the plastic bumper to the left. Loosen the top clamp under the engine lid and gently push the bumper the way it needs to go. There is some flex left to right in the fitting. Might work along with loosening the rear centre, under bumper fixings at the same time.... Re-tighen when happy of course.

This never crossed my mind - really? Looks pretty fixed but if it works and doesn't take anything out I'm up to try it.
