My new vette

Hey guys, im relatively new to the forum, and just picked up a 98 C5 manual this morning! This car is incredible, looks amazing and accelerates and handles like a beast.

Im looking forward to having a great time with this car. My first question for you guys is about leveling the exhaust pipes. Like I see in a bunch of other C5's, the right pipes are sagging lower then the left (stock exhaust). What is the best way to fix this? Is this just a matter of bent hangers? I have a jack and stands in my garage, so I should have no problem getting under there.

Congrats, welcome to the club

As mentioned probably just the hangers bent a little (easy fix)

Now, let the modding begin

haha exactly, right after I get my new tires on the car, the first thing i'm looking into is borla stingers, heard them on a bunch of other cars and they sounded perfect for me, so Im gonna try to pick them up from somewhere.
