Default Corsa X pipe installation question???

I've got the Indy series Corsa installed and it took me about 2 hours to line up the tips. I finally got them perfect. Anyways, when I install the X pipe next week will I have to re-align the tips??? God I hope not!

That's what I'm looking for. I can't stand the popping noise when down shifting. The X-Pipe is going on. What about my question though???

The X pipe will leave you with a low rumble but without the gurgle..remove 90% of the pop on decel, but unfortunatley you will have to re align the tips... the cat backs bolt directly to the Xpipe at the flange... the good news is these flanges will not crack like the factory H pipe... make sure you measure a few times note left side from right side... write it on the pipes with a magic marker before you make any cuts... verify the the long cut is on the proper side of the car... the X pipe is worth the effort... Good Luck.. consider the realignment , therapy.

Yes, you'll have to realign everything again.
