Got X-Pipe from WCC no Installation Instructions
I know this is a simple installation but I am not real crazy about cutting up my exhaust system without instructions.
Does anyone have some installation instructions for a West Coast Corvette X-Pipe.
It looks just like a Magnaflow but was less expensive. A real nice X-Pipe but WCC is not responding to my request for installation instructions.
Thanks Folks for the help.

I just got the same pipe sans instructions also.
I know it's not the same X-Pipe, but corsa's website has instructions for THEIR X-Pipe install. (I WOULDN'T go by their measurements though)
The way I figure it, if you're going to have it installed by a muffler shop, they ought to know to just line it up with the location of the factory union between the "over the axle" pipes and the ones on the X-Pipe. (that's the way I would do it if I had a lift and was going to do it myself)
Having mine installed Thursday...I'll let you know if there is some "trick" to it.

The only "trick" is to not make your two cuts side by side (offset them by a couple of inches). Otherwise, there won't be room for the C-clamps to tighten w/o facing them downward.
This lack of customer support from WCC is inexcusable (though typical).

Thanks for the tips.
I would think someone from WCC would give some help, not just act like they never hear from me.
I do plan on posting some pictures of the install with help from a fellow Corvette guy who has a lift.
Hope to help out someone else.
Thanks again.

Had mine installed today. It took them 45 mins with the WCC X-Pipe and the Indy Pace Car Corsa exhaust. They did an awesome job (Horsepower Sales) and it only cost $85.00.
Money well spent in my opinion to save me the aggrevation.
Sounds friggin awesome! Not loud by any means.
Good luck with your install!
