Corsa Touring Exhaust

I just installed my Corsa Touring Exhaust and I love it so far. I did notice it's not quite centered when looking at it from the back it's a little to the left but not quite touching the bumper in any way. What is the best way to go about moving and centering it? Do I need to loosed up all the clamps or just one or two?

Thanks guys and gals!

I don't think there is any good way to move the exhaust around besides maybe using different rubber hangers.

You're probably going to be the only one to notice it anyways.

BTW, I agree that the Corsa sounds great. I raced an SS at the track with one, so thats all I heard down the strip. lol

You can loosen the clamps and try swiveling the pipes a bit to get it centered, but it might be a PITA I prewarn. The rubber hanger movement will work if it's just a little tiny bit though.

Mine's not a Corsa, but I just moved a few of the rubber hangers around a bit; that worked.

Ya I'll give it a shot this evening. It doesn't appear to be touching the rear bumper but it is damn close and the big thing is I don't want it to touch and cause damage. Thanks for the feedback folks! :-)

Ya know if the price of the GM touring hadn't been raised by Crate Engine Depot I would've gone after it, but I got a smokin' deal on the Corsa and I am happier overall.....you are a funny one! :-)

Yep GM priced itself right out of the exhaust game for this car. I got mine at my local dealers cost (before price increase) because i do their I.T. work, and i love the sound of the touring . At their current prices, your better off spending just a little more for the better quality and sized Corsa.

Ya I kept saying I was going to get the GMPP touring but I never had the money, once I did the price was too much.....ya I still haven't tried to move it around just yet. it's not touching the bumper so it is ok for now till I can get under it this weekend sometime.

I'm going to try and adjust the hangers first, if that doesn't work or if it doesn't stay put I'll try to losen up the clamps and go that route...anyone else out there with the Corsa have suggestions or did I just do a shitty job of installing my exhaust?

When I installed my Corsa, I just twisted the pipes and got the straight before thightening up the clamps. That should solve your problem.

Do I need to loosen the flange bolts or can I leave that part alone and adjust the rest?

Well I messed with the hanger and it is more centered but it seems to still pull. I even tried messing with the pipes a little...am I missing anything else? It keeps pulling toward the drivers side and pushing against the bumper on that side of the opening.
