Default Speed Engineering Exhaust system.

I'm re-posting this in Tech/Performance from General:

Those of you that have installed Speed Engineering Headers and SE full exhaust-

What is the secret to passenger side axle-back fitment?
Cannot get the passenger side X-pipe extension to align with the over-axle pipe.
I have flipped the X-pipe with no luck.
Came with 3 different fitment pipes and none are fitting. The one indicated for my setup is fairly close, but no cigar.

The driver's side fits perfectly. All connections and headers are loose fit at present, Nothing is tightened up yet.

I think it sucks something advertised will work but it doesn't without pain in the *** modifications.
The caveat is true- "you get what you pay for". Lesson learned.
I will purchase name brand from now on.

2005 C6 base convertible, LS2. Automatic.
Thank you.

I can’t really be of help as mine was installed on an 09 base. No issues. I did know they had to make a different end piece for the x pipe for early models.

If I recall I dealt with Kevin when I called to place an order and ask questions. Maybe he can give some insight to your situation.

Thank you SixAddict.
I made an appointment at the old muffler shop. I can MIG but not TIG.
I'll give them a few bucks to do it correct.
