if they are made for the c6 I believe they will but I'm not 100% sure if the c6 bracket would work on a c5... I really don't see why a c6 bracket wouldn't work on a c5 but it would be best to confirm with the manufacturer... if not you could flip the throttle body around or possibly use a smaller diameter spacer in that area... I would go with a&a for sure out of the 3 you mentioned, hands down they have the best quality and customer service... ati makes a good blower and intercooler but their brackets are not so great... the other company I wouldn't even consider due to the way they treat people and their quality is not all that great either in comparison to a&a

good deal, Andy and Josh are always there and willing to help
... so will the bracket clear the throttle body in the normal position or did he say you would have to flip it?... I'm assuming you would have to flip it around and that's why you would need to space the power steering reservoir forward?

From: Providing the most proven supercharger kits for your C5/6/7 609-752-0321
Our supercharger brackets are made differently for the C5 to C6 for this exact reason. So the end user has more choices for their build without having to buy more parts. It has always been our goal to give the end user more for less, even though in a situation like this, it would be much more cost effective/easier for us to have one set of brackets for the C5 & C6 like most manufacturers.
We have always stayed one step ahead....
