No problem at all. I just had my Borla removed and put on my Ti's. Still sounds good because I have headers.

Very popular mod for base c5's, should bolt right up. Once you get the back end up high enough it's a very easy removal and install. Sounds really good with LT's and the ti bypass mod.

Yep, just took a set of Ti off my 04 CE Vert this weekend and put the original back on. Get it up high, put jack stands under it so you can remove the jack AND drop the sway bar.

Should bolt right up. On an automatic car, you will need to remove the passenger side fuel tank heat shield as it is in the way. Not much harder than on a 6 speed car. Make sure you have the rear end up high, preferably on a lift!

Takes 34" to clear on jack stands, that's way up there.
