Z06 mid-pipe/exhaust install
I recently bought an 03 Z06 exhaust (mid pipe & rear sections) to put on my 04 auto cpe. The Z parts only have 5K miles on them and are like new. Will the Z06 mid pipe bolt up to my 04 manifolds w/o any problems. I assume the manifolds are the same length? Also, will the sensor go in at the same spot or will I need to lengthen any wires? Is there an advatage to using the Z06 mid section? I tried the search but could not come across a specific situation like this. Thanks in advance.

I installed mine yesterday night and after putting the ti exhuast and the z06 airbox in it, the car feels way more responsive and I can say without a doubt that I notice a difference after cruising around for a couple hundred kms. You'll barely notice the sound difference except when you're on it and at high revs where it has, what I'll describe as, a "tinny flowmaster deceleration sound" to it.

The 04 has pre-cats while the 03 Z h-pipe only has the 2 cats. I can't crawl under the car far to see where the sensors connect to the h-pipe. Does anyone know if the h-pipe bolts up like stock (no length difference) and if any sensors connect in the same spot? Thanks.
