I fitted the stainless steel exhaust in the link below to my corsa about 3 months ago and have since had to re-align it as it keeps twisting down to the right as you look at the backbox. Its obviously doing it because the hangers are on the left of the box so nothing is preventing the right-side from drooping.
Any suggestions on how I can get it to stay sitting level at the back.
Thanks
Exhaust;
Take off the stupid piece of chav tat and fit an OEM system.
HTH.
:-)
Well, that's obviously the best way!
However, you could drill a hole through the two parts that move, then insert a self-tapping screw. This was pretty much standard practice when I was rallying.

I wouldn't say a stainless is chav material Steve :)
Now if it was a big bore 4, thats a different story....
Did you look at the link.
They look like Pecos made from stainless.....
I've been guilty of it in the past, my Cinq. had a Janspeed DTM system - however, I've found that *most* aftermarket 'performance' systems tend to be badly made and poorly fitting. I'll stick with OEM unless I can afford a proper, quality aftermarket system from now on.
Magnex make OEM Exhausts for TVR and Aston Martins (see their site) so they are hardly chav. I wasnt asking for opinions, just some advice on fitment.
Janspeed made the exhausts for most touring car teams, didn't stop them being pointless tat at the lower end of the market, though.
And you go it. Badly made junk. Get an OEM system, at least it'll fit.
And they generally last a long time. Don't think I've ever replaced an OE system unless it's been damaged - that includes 160k miles on a rover 400, over 200k on a mitsubishi spacewagon. Short journeys kill exhausts IIRC - if your OE one lasts less than 50k miles maybe worth getting a quality stainless - assuming you're gonna keep the car past 150k...
most corsa's ive fitted rear silencer's to have two mounting brackets welded to the body to accomodate the two mounting brackets that come fitted to the new rear section, you sure one hasnt been removed from the body ?
No it has both brackets on the car but because the brackets on the exhaust are not symetrical from the centre the right-hand-side is not supported as much as the left and causes the right side to drop.
Worst part is he could have gone to a specialist exhaust builder and had a custom one made to fit and fitted to the car for less.
its been made wrong then, you've 2 options, 1 send it back or 2 take it to a garage to get them to cut the bracket of the silencer and re-weld it.
A bit over the top on price just had a powerflow custom made 300ukp for a Estima.
