Well have come along way. Parts back in rear now having rear Y pipe problems. Will not line up high enough. Used VBP spring mount bracket will not clear. So pissed now I just walked away using a few choice words. Does anyone have a idea what the heck I need to do? Bent the SH#T out of it or just leave as is? And hope it will work? Any ideas would be great and I know about the side pipe thing. Thanks

Is this a new pipe, or is it your original/old pipe? If it's a new one, I'd say contact the manufacturer and see if they have a solution, or VBP, since they may have the fix.
If it's your original, you'll likely need to "modify" it some. You might wind up having to have a new pipe custom made, or your old one tweaked at a muffler shop...

Thanks Joel  Approve I will work it out using your suggestion. It is a new pipe from ZIPS. I will Call VBP and Zips see if they have a solution. But I bet I have to do a custom job, (CUT GRIND & BEND and Censored). Alway gets me when you go from stock to modified parts there always those extra jobs the parts create. Thanks again YOU DA MAN, OH Have a HAPPY CORVETTE Thanksgiving.

Update all got the pipes back in look good but had to resort to a buba fix stil worked. Just had to alter one of the pipes with large hammer. You get the idea. Fits good though, thanks again.
