tailpipe mounting not straight...

[jdeatsch]

Yep, I'm starting to get into the nits on my car and this is driving me nuts.

As you can see from the picture, the left tips are hanging lower then the right. I'm pretty sure that others have encountered this and are as anal as I am about things like this.

Ideas, tips, free beer? Thanks folks, as always.

Buy a new set of Corsca's (I did) and it straightens every thing out, sound and all. SC:WTT

 

[jdeatsch]

Gee thanks Scott, otfl

Great suggestion but you'd have to pay for 'em.

 

[ScottNoxid]

Yeah, unfortunately these things cost money, but they were worth it!

The front clamp on the left bank has allowed it to drop, just needs a little adjustment just in front of the axel. You will be required to get under it with room to work, like on a lift to be safe. Much quicker than on jack stands and easy to check the new alignment before you re-tighten the clamp. You may want to upset the joint with a center punch so it won't turn so easily.

Hey Jim, I think the stock muffelers has a strap up on top of them that keep them from sagging, you may be able to adjust this if you can get to it.SC:WTT

PS Looks like Dad has a better answer

Dad and Scott,

Thanks VERY much you two. I'll attack this issue this weekend and see if I can't square it all away.

I appreciate the help you know.

Good eye, Jim. I didn't notice it until you mentioned it, then I couldn't NOT see it. Careful working under there and post new pix when you get 'em lined up.

BTW... Happy 4th!

:bowrofl glad you asked Jim, mine is the same way only the other side. It's been bugin me for some time and the gf can't see what I'm talking about, BUT I do. I'm getting ready to go under and investigate. Thanks to "Dad" I now know where to start checking.

That only works with stock mufflers, most after market have a second joint that can come loose so you would need to check both.
