Corsa Xtreme Catback - Tips Don't Fit

[Cascadia_302]

I tried searching because I figured I am not the only one but I couldn't manage to find a thread about it. What did you do to get the tips on? I will take note of applying some anti seize in case I will need to adjust them later.

They went on but were tight. But now after being on there for some time one simply can't be moved by hand or with WD40 applied, the other tip can be moved with a little persuasion.
I imagine you can extend the slots a little more and check to make sure there isn't any sharp edges on the mating surfaces of the tips/ mufflers. Using some anti-seize wouldn't hurt either.

A little soap and water should do the trick. Mine needed some persuasion but no modification. I believe that Corsa even puts that in the directions.

They are way too tight for the soap and water to help unfortunately

I too had this issue with both exhaust tips on my Corsa Xtreme. With the way the the tips are designed, you should be able to slightly bend the cut portions of the exhaust tips without any noticeable damage. By doing this, I was able to get the exhaust tips to fit.

A pair of pliers or vice grips should work.

I was thinking I'll have to slightly expand those cutouts to get them on

Yep, my tips were the same way as every one else's. They just needed that cut expanded slightly with some pliers, then just jammed on there. Make sure you line them up right the first time with the corsa logo right on top, cause it'll be a pain to move them later after they've heat cycled a bunch.

I was thrown off when I saw the logos off to the side but it makes sense to flow with the diffuser if they face up. I like the look of the slashes facing straight down so I'm going to installing the tips the "wrong" way

I think there are actually some sharp bits on both outlets of the muffler and tips so I'll sand those down first and maybe that's all that will be needed to let them slide on. I read through all the of corsa tip threads and the point has been driven home that once they are on there and ran for a while they are on there for good almost haha.

Thanks for all the input guys I appreciate it :cheers:
