Default c5 mufflers on c4 corvette...
I have a set of borla mufflers for a 98 vette I was wondering if they would fit on a 93 vette. They seem to be about the same size but te problem is the location of the inlet on the muffler its on the same side as the outlet. Does anyone think I will be able to make these mufflers work?

No, the inlet and outlet are both on one side of the muffler, so it wont work right. They look like this...

Sure. Anything can be made to work with enough money, effort, and/or lack of sense.

You probably can get them to fit but it would take a lot of custom fab. I think the best thing to do is to sell the c5 mufflers and use that money to buy some that fit your c4.

the c5 mufflers stick out like that because the a$$ of the c5 is so huuuuge. No way they will fit under a c4's petite little fanny

I don't think it would work without a ton of work
