Default Corsa owners, help me out

I have the Corsa sport side exit exhaust on my 2004 RCSB Silverado. My exhaust tips hang really low and I want to get them closer to the rear quarter panel. Any advice on how to do this?

You can cut the hanger off and fit it to your desired look and weld it back together.

I've got the rear exit. You could adjust it where it fit right cold then when it heated up they would drop. Get it fit right when it was hot it would tuck up against the bumper and rattle. I went to Auto Zone and got the hangers with the leather like strap on one end and a muffler clamp on the other. Have them right at the end of the tailpipes and strapped to the frame to hold them in place.

It's not all that low. I thought so too at first, but I got use to it. It keeps the heat and black carbon off of my rear quarter panel.

Try finding a local exhaust shop and see if they sell replacement rubber hangers that are shorter than factory. With shorter hangers it should pull the exhaust closer to the body. Mine has bugged the **** outta me since the day I put it on. I called Corsa about it and they said that they design the truck systems like that to clear the extra cladding on the Denali, Denali trucks, and the SS. I'm not sure why they don't offer shorter hanger kits or something to remedy this situation as most everyone with Corsa has this problem.
