Default My Corsa Extreme Tips

are a little crooked and it drives me crazy. Are they difficult to adjust and does the car need to be on a lift?

The car does not have to be lifted. I did mine lying in the driveway and it was very easy, just not much room to work
Make sure you have a few heat cycles in them and maybe some WOT runs if that's your thing before finalizing because expansion and contraction along with the torquing of the engine is going to get them out of alignment.

I watched this video

The xtreme is a bit different in that there is no muffler coupler, instead it's just outside the muffler toward the axle. You just have to unscrew that and play around with it

You can back the car up onto a pair of ramps to easily gain some working space.

You should be able to adjust the exhaust tips without lifting the car on a ramp. A floor jack and some jack stands for safety should be sufficient.
