A friend, a mechanic, helped me with a similar issue on my C5. Try this. It's like taking an aspirin; can't possibly hurt....

Loosen every nut and bolt on your exhaust, starting with the exhaust manifolds on the engine, all the way back, through the cat-backs. Loose, so evey thing just kind of 'hangs there'. No binding, anywhere.

Then slowly, starting at the front, at the engine, begin to tighten things, working back. Do this in 2 or 3 cycles; final torque on last 'tighten'. And each time you tighten something; check it all, to make sure no binding or pulling out of the alignment you seek.

For me, this worked perfectly, and we got very nice alignment of the pipes, when done.

Worth a shot, for you, good luck.
