    Corsa fitment for 4.2 on the downpipes...

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Got a new Corsa system for my 2012 S5 4.2 V8. When I go to mount the down tubes, driver's side is WAY off. I mean like it needs rotated for it to come close and therefore will not align with the flange coming from the car. The passenger side does work. It does seem a little close to the under carriage but would work due to the flex mesh stuff.

    Anyone have this issue? For the cost of these systems, I would suspect that they are using a jig and really shouldn't be able to mess it up.

    Now, is it possible that the flanges will be able to be rotated once bolted and I try and turn the pipe? I suspect that the mesh top and bottom are welded and wouldn't be able to, but never know.

    Really bummed I got the car up, took everything off and nothing fit. Sitting on stands and can't obviously be driven unless I install the stock system which is going to have do be done since it is my daily.

    Just looking to see options if there was a trick, etc... I can post pics for reference... Just shocked really... Thought it would be better quality. The X-Pipe also didn't want to go on to the back section piping and had to bend the cross plate that was welded on the resognator section to mesh up.

    Did they send you 2 passenger sides by mistake?

    No. The part numbers are 10A14069 and 10A14065 and both are very different. Both would technically fit the passenger side actually, though. The issue is that I don't know what fits on the driver's side and therefore really cannot tell which is the one that should be the passenger side.
