Default C-5 Exaust Extensions

Has anyone tack welded the extenstions on the tail pipes? I just changed all of mine and one still wants to drop a little.

Yep! Last fall I was out and about running some errands and I returned to my car from behind and noticed that one of mine was pointing down at about 60 degree angle. I immediately stopped into a local shop that does headers & tailpipes so I figured they'd know what to do. The guy looked at mine and laughed and said hardly a week goes by that he doesn't tack weld an extension because the clips break from constant heat/vibration. He took it right in and had the job done in about 10 minutes. I had him weld all 4 and there have been no more problems. In fact, he said my tailpipe might break off someday, but if it does, that extension will still be in place. I forget what he charged, but it seemed very reasonable... something like $20-25.
