They are not titanium, they weight about the same, should bolt up fine, they are worth approx. 5 HP over earlier model years (not sure about your 2002's).

The Z06 h-pipe is a little lighter in weight than the stock h-pipe as the 02 and newer Z06 h-pipe only has 2 converters. It dos not have the pup cats that the stock sysytem has. I have an 02 Z06 h-pipe and cat backs on my 02 Vert. They fit perfectly and sound better than the stock system.

yep; major difference is the Z06 doesn't have the first two (forward) cat-ettes... only the main rear cats.

But you can gut your pup-cats:

But then many C5's don't have pup cats either, mine didn't.

you have a Y2K. Apparently 2001 is when AlGore started dictating to the rest of the US.
