Default ZO6 Exhaust

I just ordered the new Corsa touring muffler system. I have read alot about people saying that the stock titanium exhaust is better due to weight and has plenty of flow but I am just not happy with sound. And to top it off I dont know if anyone else has this problem but the exhaust is blued and brown. It looks bad. And, the right side hangs a tad lower than the left. Ive seen another one on the road and saw his was the same. Anyone have these problems and if so is there a fix for it.

Interesting. Never seen a stock C5 Exhaust with one side hangin' lower than the other...but i have seen plenty of aftermarket exhausts like that. I had the Corsa Indy's on my C5 Coupe. Loved them! But it took a bit of tweaking...on more than one occasion to get them aligned just right. Then when i finally had them perfect...or so i thought...i started to hear a really bad vibrating sound when i accelerated. Had no idea what it could be...until my C5 tech showed me...my "perfectly aligned" Corsa's were rubbing against my right fuel tank! Actually had same problem when i installed my SLP exhaust on my '95 Impala SS...one day heard bad vibration...turned out left side exhaust was bangin' against spring. But the Corsa's are great...just takes some tweaking.
