corsa install HELP
well, installed the corsa indy's saturday. All generally went smooth, but I can't get them to line up. Drivers side, seems fine. Good clearance all around. But the passenger side, is VERY close to the center storage, is a lot higher than the drivers side, and is sticking a little bit farther out.
I messed with it longer than it took to install, but can't seem to get it to line up like the other one.
Any suggestions? Anyone had a similar experience? I can't figure out why that passenger side is sitting so different from the drivers side.
Worse case, any recommendations on someone/shop with good experience with Corsa in OKC?
On the positive side, dang they sound great!!

It took me weeks of adjusting to get mine almost perfect. Just keep at it. I found that you will need to look at it from about 5 different angles and just keep adjusting until you think it is perfect. Problem is the next day you won't think it's perfect and keep adjusting lol. Just stick with it man. It will finally line up perfectly. Oh one tip. Put some preassure on some adjustments to keep the pipes from moving. A torque wrench with it's leverage is a must in the install.

Did mine Saturday too. All by myself.
I got Tiger Shark Tips and since they are all together, alignment is more critical.
I looked at directions and things didn't seem to "adjust" as easily as they would appear.
I ended up picking the side that I wanted to move and loosened up all of the bolts. Then pulled and hung onto the pipes in the position I wanted and tightened all the bolts with the other hand.
THis technique got things really close, which is good enough for the first week to see how things work out.
Drove around a bit today and things still look decent.
good luck.
