Default ? about Corsa Install

Just installed my new corsa indy's 2days ago. They are awsome! yet I noticed the passenger side muffler was very close to the rear quater panel(1/4 inch) and there is some warping of the bottom rear panel at the angle probably from the heat. Is this common to most of the corsa's (a normal variant?) or should they be replaced? May look like the mounting bracket is of center on the passenger side muffler. :confused: :confused:

The rear outside edge of the passenger side muffler is about 1/4-1/2" from the rear of the wheel well on mine. I have about 4000 miles on the Corsas and no warping.

Get a 13mm deep well socket, or 13mm wrench, lossen the muffler clamp, position the muffler/tailpipes how u want them, retighten. It's that easy.....

Somtimes, it's necessary to have them tach welded to keep them from losing their position.
