Default Do All Corsa Exhaust Systems Leak?

i'm getting that impression from the posts i'm reading. all the corsa's either leak or the tips start pointing upward, especially after full throttle.

This is the first I've ever heard of the Corsas leaking or moving. Mine are rock solid w/ no leaks.

No problems here. The tips are still in the same spot after 6 months.

Ditto....My Pro Tips still look and sound GREAT! If they move, I am not aware of it. Since they mount the same as all the others, why in the world would they move any differently anyway.

Mine are straight and don't leak. I've had them on for almost two years.

However, I have heard that the tips can get out of alignment from lots of wheel hop. That would happen with any aftermarket exhaust.

No leaks or alignment problems with mine after 6 months of daily driving! Also, my Corsas are bolted on, not welded.

Mine have been good since day one. The only time they get out of alignment is when they are removed and reinstalled after Modifications.
