It's a common problem with aftermarket exhausts. They just need to be readjusted and retightened.

I had to bend the bracket that was welded to the rear of the right muffler about an inch upward in order to get mine to line up. When you compared both mufflers to each other the right was was welded about an inch too low. They look even now and you cannot tell i bent the bracket uless your looking for it.

Don't be so quick to write off the Corsa Indys. I would venture that all after market, and even OEM replacement cat-backs are affected in the same way. After you do your cat-back install, let us know.

I too have the Corsa Indy and they are just ever so slightly off...and although most people don't notice it I see it every time I look at it. Kind of a bummer but what-ever.

I would still by Corsa Indy again, I love the sound the besides the bracket that was off by one inch the rest of the system was perfect. I love the sound!! Not a whole lot of adjustments can be made on the system. I wanted to make sure they had equal clearance all the way around the muffler. If you put one side up too high it will rub on the aluminum heat shield and make noise when you drive. Not to mention you need an inch or two of room all the way around the mufflers and pipes so you don’t melt or distort the plastic or fiberglass parts.

You just have to keep messing with them, get over it. The sound and performance makes up for the adjusting.

Tack welding will definitely stop them from moving. I have not had a problem for over three years with my Corsa exhaust system after tack welding.
