Default Need help with exhaust alignment 69

Got new stock manifolds and exhaust system from Corvette Central. I got the drivers side on but the passenger side isn't in the center of the frame hole? It's touching the frame ? It is tight to the exhaust hanger that bolts to the trans. What am I missing?

George,
It's a little hard to tell with 1 picture. And Frankly, there must be 100 good muffler shops between you and me. If something is bent wrong, any 1 of them would fix it for a nominal fee. I just had a custom front Y-Pipe fabbed and installed in Anaheim for $125. If you insist on doing it yourself, I could swing by next week. Jeff

Default Wow thanks for the offer...I just got it to work with..

a big crow bar and a bunch of wood shims. I tweaked just enough but really thanks a lot for the offer of help. I'm going to be done with this car soon, do you belong to NCRS or any local car clubs?

Model T Ford Club of America, Orange County Model T Club, And the Classis Thunderbird Club of America. I have not joined a Corvette Club..............yet. All car people enjoy a common bond, and I find most to be good, friendly people.
