OK folks I have a perplexing question that I need answered! Who out there has had their short block replaced and also have the amazing FI exhaust. Here is my question, before my short block was replaced the tips of the FI exhaust stuck out past the bumper to the point where you could almost see the entire Fast Intentions engraving. Now after having the short block done the tips only stick out maybe a 1/2 inch. So I went back to the dealer and we put the car on the lift and there is just no way to get it back to its original position. The tips are centered but the system just seems shorter. I watched them try and try again but no luck. The GM and the tech seem to think that perhaps the replacement block is shorter. So I'm searching for someone else that has gone through this and was wondering what the results are. Crazy I know but I’m stumped.
Tony any ideas what’s going on, I need the tips out more. It looks good but I like the old look better.
