Various products install questions
I just got back in town from a factory delivery of my dad's C6. I have a bunch of parts waiting to go on the car and I want to get any info that I can on installing these parts before I start. Here is what we have...
Corsa Exhaust
Color matched third brake light housing
Vortex intake
side air vent screens
and I think that is it.
Any info would be helpful. Thanks.

To get to the bolts holding the third brake light, remove one of the inboard tail lights (one torx screw accessable from the rear), and reach through the hole to get to the bolts. Don't forget to unplug the wire to the brake light before removing it. Don't overtorque the bolts when installing the new piece, and don't forget to plug the wire back in before you reinstall the tail light.
The best install advice on the Vortex is *don't*.
The dress up screens for the fake side vents can be installed by removing the access panel in the inner fenderwell, pop out the black plastic filler piece, and use double stick tape or glue to attach the screen. Reassemble in reverse order.

I installed the Corsa myself. The instructions come with it. They are very good. I only had two problems. (1) Completely remove the H pipe, it makes taking it off a lot easier. (2) When removing the mufflers, it it easier to take the hanger brackets off the frame attached to the muffler brackets the trying to take the hangers out of the rubber hangers. Then before you install the Corsa mufflers, put the hanger brackets in the new muffler hangers. Put muffler pipe in over the axle pipe and raise muffler up and reinstall bolts into muffler bracket and frame. You will find this goes a lot eaiser than trying to take the hangers out of the rubber hangers.
