Anyone else with Tigershark tips?
I got my new exhaust on the car but don't like how the tips hang. Has anyone else ended up with this same problem?
If so, how did you get them to line up straight. Any advice is greatly appreciated
Here's what they look like right now. As you can see, the center is lower than the outer tips. (Especially on the right)

The Corsa's have 3 adjustments, you should be able to just loosen the bolt that clamps the muffler to the over the axel pipe and kinda rotate the tips to the position you want. A trick is to lay a carpenter's level over the tips to get both sides straight.

If you just loosen the clamps before and after the mufflers and move them where you want them and then re-tighten holding them in place, you get about an inch of movement without touching the top holder on the mufflers.

Also, there is no "after the muffler" adjustment on these. The pipe coming out of the mufflers with the tips on them came already welded in place) 
Fortunately he didn't tach weld the other end, (the other side of the elbow that attaches to the "over the axle" pipe) so I should still be able to rotate the whole assembly up a bit. Hopefully there's enough adjustment there to at least get the tips level.
And if the tips still hang lower than I like, I can either go out there with my Dremel & cutting wheel and break the welds loose myself, or take it back and have him do it. I figure after spending $2000 on exhaust, I should at least be satisfied with the results.
Thanks for pointing out those adjustments to me guys. It was because I didn't install it myself that I didn't realize they were even there.
