Default Tail pipe alignment..

in the 70's here today, so after I got home from the gym, decided to play around with the muffler/tail pipe alignment, since the right side ever so slightly shifted this winter... I think I got it perfect! The center "filler" emblem is too, it looks a little off cause of the angle i took the pic... and sorry bout the lack of kick on the gloss, it was getting dark and some clouds rolled in

That alignment looks PERFECT! (Only surpassed by the perfection of the Zaino finish!)

Yeah Wolf. That does need a little more kick to the gloss!
You must be slipping.

Seriously, looks fantastic as always.
Pipes look aligned perfectly also. Nice job.
Maybe I didn't notice before.
When did you change the plates from wolf dogs?

thanks guys!

i transfered the WOLFDGS plates to my Focus, it was more suited for that car, since i use it for my wolfdog rescue stuff, it has "official wolfdog rescue" on the back.... the vette is used for driving to the gym on sunny days...LOL and has an "Age Badly" small decal on the back window.......

So, wolfdogs whats the procedure for doing this. Do you just bend the hanger flange until you get it stright? I need to do this but not exactly sure if I just bend the flange or what, please let me know. Thanks

Not enough pictures to tell, I still think the left one is not perfect. Need to see the tips from straight down as well to make sure they are sticking out exactly the same...


Oh, and there was TWO particles of dust on the car...shame on you.

used 2 channel locks and slowly/carefully bent hangers. Also had to elongate the holes in the center waterfall mount to move it slightly.
