My exhaust tip is not straight on my new car

I have a new 2011 392. One of my tips is crooked. I loosened the clamp right in front of it a good bit and tried to turn it, but it wouldn't budge. Any suggestions?

They should turn, make sure you loosened it enough, and try again. Mine were also crooked, i fixed mine.

I loosened it until it was gapped open an inch or so. What if i sprayed some WD40 on it from the back side?

Agreed, it's a ball flange so you probably didn't loosen it enough. After you have the bolts loose, give it a light tap with a dead blow hammer at the flange just in case there is some internal surface rust to break free. Rotate and tighten.

Disappointing on a $45-$50K car. Glad it's an easy fix.

I also have one tip crooked, but they tacked it so I'll have to get a peanut grinder to remove the tack weld.
Apparently they feel the extra security is needed.

Check to make sure there isn't any tack welds.

That's just tacky...

the quad tips on the 392 are not welded on , just loosen the bolt and align .

There's a tack weld for the clamp but not the tip itself. I just put some IE quad tips
on my car. The stockers needed a little push/bump to get them loose after sitting on
there for 9 months. Should be easy to adjust once you get them to break free.

I had the same problem when mine was new, just loosen the bolt and tap it. It will move.

All OEM exhaust tips have the ball clamp tack welded. It's pretty easy to break it lose.
