Default C5 and C6 axle back install - different?

I am going to help a buddy install exhaust on his C6 this weekend. Is it any different than what's done to install exhaust on a C5?

Just A Suggestion, Try Posting In C6 Section. Most C6 Owners Have Had C5's, But Not The Reverse.

Good Luck. I Hope It Is Easier Than My C5 Was.

if it's Corsa, it's a pita

basically a slipfit up front and two hangers out back, more of a straight shot than the C5

if you don't have heat, a pc of wood and a hammer should knock off the slip fits

don't worry, your C5 brothers/sisters are here to help

Although methinks you don't have to get the back end up anywhere near as high to get stock stuff out.

it still has to be up there pretty high, on the Z's, the cradle needs to be lowered just smidge to avoid cutting the pipe, the Z muff's go for 5 to 6 bills used
