View Full Version : Can't tighten Corsa TSE3 clamps sufficiently

Anyone else have trouble getting the clamps on a TSE3 or equivalent exhaust tight enough? The junction between the second resonator pipe and the pipe heading to the muffler will not cinch up sufficiently no matter how much I torque the bolts. The result is that after a few miles of driving, the pipes slide out of each other about a half inch - not enough to actually come out, but enough to cause concern. I've safety-wired everything to the chassis, so no risk of losing a section while driving. But I'd like to solve this without resorting to welding. Anyone had to fix this before? What did you do?
