Not sure if anyone else has noticed this or not but my Exhaust Tips on my week old C7 are not even. I didn't notice this when I picked the car up but when it was sitting in my garage which is higher then the street and I was in the street I noticed that they are not aligned. Now that I have seen it it is really bothering me so I was wondering if anyone else has this issue? I took the car to the dealer (it is still there) and they said that the tips are welded and they cannot be moved. I told them that I am not happy about this and they said they will have someone else look at it tomorrow.
Pictures attached are a) without any markup, and b) with some markup to show what I am talking about.
Appreciate any input on this.
I have had a similar problem and brought it to the attention of my dealer during my first service. The 2 middle pipes almost touch each other the 2 outside pipes are uneven. The dealer tech said he could not do anything because the pipes are welded. He did try by loosening some nuts/clamps but that did nothing and he showed me what he tried to do, Yuk and true or not true?
When I took my car in for it's oil change I mentioned it to the dealer. They said "It didn't look that bad. And until Chevrolet does something about it, well just live with it." So I guess if someone really notices a series of cars with certian VINs have this problem and notifies Chevrolet we just have to ride around with crooked pipes. They look like I backed into something.

Before and after pictures of my 1 week old 2015 Z51 with Performance Exhaust. You can see in the before picture that the inside left tip is higher than the rest. In the after pictures you can see that they are closer to level all the way across when measured from the bottom of the tips. This was a fairly simple adjustment. Having a friend with a garage lift helped a lot. Thanks to forum members I was able to re-align the tips and keep my baby on the road and not in the dealership. What a fantastic car!
Curious...exactly what did you do to straighten out the exhaust.
My 14 tips are almost perfect.... some of these pics are pathetic!!! I would demand the mufflers be replaced .... cant believe they let them out the door looking like that...
I don't know how useful these pictures will be to anyone, but at least you can see some of the process of installing a new exhaust system and what it looks like under the bumper cover???
mine are straight ...but ... their is a somewhat large space in the middle so I have a twp plus two situation ..good enough where it looks ok ..
In a perfect situation they would all be straight ,,and all 4 spaced perfectly ...I think GM took the easy way out and just went with a good size pace in the middle ...
just another example of awful fit and finish ... GM must spend a fortune on rebuilding these cars with all the nonsense ..roofs ..exhaust ..op ...so much easier and cheaper to do the little things right the first time ....no quality control at all ..
