Exhaust Install Question
Finely got a lift installed in my garage, so can now install a new exhaust.
Will be installing a Corsa Touring. Any trick or problem that I should be aware of, or is it straight forward?
Thanks

A good work practise is to install the entire system with all the bolts and clamps installed just enough to hold evrything together, make final fit up/ alignment adjustments etc, then tighten all clamps and bolts accordingly,You should have no issues as long as you follow the MFG instructions

Double check the over axle pipes to make sure there's enough clearance all around the pipes. Since I installed my Powerflo about 1 month ago, I've already heard first hand from 3 other forum owners about noises when making turns... all traced back to the pipes bumping the underbody. The exhaust is only hard mounted at the front of the H pipe - everything else is free to move around (by design), so clearance is very important.

I installed mine a few weeks ago on my race ramps. Straight forward, I loosely tightened everything, checked alignment and then final torqued. the only problem was torqueing the upper studs on the front flanges. I couldn't get the torque wrench up there so I had to guess.
I love the exhaust, enjoy.

Take your time, follow the instructions and make sure everything is aligned before tightening things up.
BE CAREFUL with the bolts attaching the new H-pipe to the flanges behind the cats. All the instructions say is "tighten to factory specs." I don't recall the exact specs but it's not NEARLY as high ans the other bolts/nuts. Check that torque spec before doing the work or you're likely to do damage.
Otherwise it's pretty straightforward.
Good luck and have fun!
