Default How **** are you?

Ok, so i put my corsa extreme and xpipe on last week and i was waiting on the new tips cause the ones that came with weren't perfect. After installing last night i couldn't get it perfect. I know what the problem is. It's the small piece that comes with the corsa and goes where you have to cut the pipe. It needs to be turned ever so slightly to get the left muffler perfectly straight. The problem is, at this point with everything attached, it would be a bit*h to loosen the bolt cause its near the AFM part. Would you guys fix this, or is this an acceptable allowance??? In the pics you can see the left side sticks out about 1mm to 1cm. The rest is perfect.

That is pretty close, nobody will ever notice but you. I won't lie though, it would probably drive me nuts

YOU'RE NOT HELPING KRACKA!!!!! lol It's bothering me now, but i think in a few weeks i won't even think about it. The same thing happened to my c6, it was slightly off and i forgot all about it after a while, but this is a brand new C7!!!

Well, I ...

- Don't wear shoes in my cars - even my daily driver (have a shoe bag)

- Have two sets of floor mats in each car -

- Dust my engine compartment

- Paint parts of the undercarriage of my C7

- Use masking tape to remove final debris from interior

- You get the idea

My Corsa is the exact same way (maybe a little more) and it drives me nuts. Think I'm going to have to fix mine one of these days, but as of now its just like that. FYI wife looked at mine and thought I was crazy and it was fine.

I work with chemotherapy products for children with cancer - If I make a mistake a child could die. So yeah, I think I'm pretty ****...... My take on your scenario - if it IS possible to fix (which it sounds like it is, although admittedly a hassle) I would invest the time / effort to fix it. You'll thank yourself and appreciate it in the long run. By the very fact you're asking / thinking about it I'd wager a fair amount of good beer that you'll be fixing it (likely before the weekend is over).

Even if I were to admit that I would be the only one to notice it, I'd be compelled, no obessed, to fix it. Truly a sickness and I show no sign of recovery.

Based on the pics I'd leave it alone and forget about it.

Maybe I'm in the very small minority of C7 owners who considers it to be a car and nothing more.

Sell this misshapen thing, buy a new one and learn from your mistakes. Guess that's more rectal than ****.

I call it CDO because it should be alphabetized.
