Default Corsa Alignment Problems

Just received my Tiger Shark Pace Car Corsa's. Per instructions, went to local muffler shop for install. Took both of us less than 1 hour. Absolutely can not get the things linned up. I'm a stickler about those things and these really fall short of acceptable. They don't turn 90 degrees back and they don't line up level. It's Sunday so I left a message at Corsa Tech. support. On the up side, they appear to be top quality and they sound great. Purchased at
Extreme Engineering... cheapest I could find. Also, I was able to get the boxes into my 03 coupe!

Sorry, can't help you with the problem, but just wanted to say what a great choice you made. I love my Corsa Pace Car exhaust with the Tiger Shark tips. I had mine installed at Carlisle by Breathless Preformance, everything lines up great.

Well, I spoke with Corsa, again, I got some in-depth tips on alignment. Unfortunately, the alignment is still just close. When you factor in the cost of this product, it's not something I would recommend to another vette owner.
Xtreme Motorsports was my vendor, they said they would sell me another set of Corsa Pipes ( charge my c card ) send the original set back to Corsa, Corsa would evaluate AND if they, Corsa, said they were up to standards, I would then own TWO sets of Pipes.
That's what my dad would classify as the " Fox guarding the Hen House". I relate it more to Internal Affairs at your local Police dept...
So there it is folks, buyer beware.

If Xtreme wont take care of you, go straight to Corsa. Send them pictures, call them. Keep posting the status of your complaint process here on the forum. I bet you will get results!!! :smash:

I must admit, I have Corsa Indys and love'm.
