C6Z Manifolds on C5Z? I can't seem to find any information regarding whether or not the C6Z exhaust manifolds/cats/H-Pipe will fit on a C5Z. I already KNOW they wont make as much power as longtubes but I don't want to have to deal with hearing the valvetrain after installing headers and I'm sure they would make more power than my current 01' manifolds and 4 cats.

You could swap to the 02 exhaust which has 2 cats. I suspect the C6 exhaust will fit, but I don't know how much better it flows over the C5Z06 exahust. The issue is going to be where you are going to adapt it to your stock system.

Really, I would think the only problem area would be where the manifolds and cats join and if there was enough clearance around that area.
