A Way To Realign Stock Exhuast? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I have noticed that over the past couple months the exhaust has shifted and they are no longer lined up equally. With the gfx it sticks out like a sore thumb and just looks goofy. I've been under the car just to scope things out but have no clue on what to do. Would the dealer be able to adjust them or am I just stuck?

I'm assuming you mean the tips are not in the center of the opening anymore. Any muffler shop can fix that, or you can do it yourself. Get a hefty bar or wooden pole (I've used a rake heavy-duty rake handle) and wrap the end with a rag. Put it in the tips up to the part where the tips attach to the mufflers. You can then easily realign them by moving the end of the pole/bar in the right direction. I've had to do it every time I take mine off. If yours are shifting a lot, then you may need to tighten the clamps up and check that they are in the hangers correctly. Good luck.

Yep, sorry. The exhaust tips is exactly what I was talking about. The left side is noticeably higher than the right. I can notice just by looking at the mufflers. One hangs a little lower than the other. Ill try this method and see if I get any luck.

If it's hard to realign, get some WD-40 and lube up those, darn, what do you call it... those things that hang the exhaust. lol.

Hangers?

Is that right? lol

Those would be the black do-hickies? I'll also give this a shot.
