Vibrant Exhaust install Problem

First post...I am trying to install the vibrant axle back exhaust on my 06 corolla S.
When trying to bolt on the new exhaust, it does not seem to line up correctly
with the stock intermediate pipe. Has anyone had this problem? Any help would be apprec.

take it to a muffler shop and let them bend the pipe to fit.

The pipes themselves line up, however the bolt holes are off.
It looks like the vibrant flanges are not long enough and the
midpipe and exhaust do not fit together properly.
I am going to call Vibrant on Tuesday. Anyone else had any issues with this?

I head of this issue before. The last time I head the Vibrant exhaust is not a direct bolt on for the 05-07 Corolla. Some kind of flange needs to be modified not really sure. Just PM masterviet333 he has a vibrant exhaust on his 05 Corolla.

All i had to do was change the spring bolts




I have a feeling there are two versions of the Vibrant exhaust, because some people have been complaining of misfitment. But mine fit perfectly and lined up. I have an 05 ce, and didn't run into any problems.

good luck

you can drill out one of the holes on the vibrant flange and the original spring bolts will work
