Exhaust Tips Crooked
A fellow Z06 owner (Nick) pointed out to me during the Biltmore cruise that my exhaust tips are crooked. I gave them a good look and he is right, the left two hang about a 1/2 inch lower than the right side.
Is this an easy adjustment I can do myself or is it dealership time?

you can do it yourself-just need to lift the rear to get around the sway bar, you will see the bolts to loosen so you can adjust them (18mm socket needed).

When I was in for other service, I had the dealer align mine. They still were not perfectly even so I added some washers to the bracket holding the muffler in place to lower the left side.

I also place the washers on the bracket, it was however a little tricky getting two stacks of washers to stay in place.

I slotted my washers using a dremel that way I didn't have to remove the bracket completely...lowered the bracket just enough and slid the washers into place ensuring the the slots overlapped.
