A C5 sits to low for a side exhaust like the earlier Corvettes.

You asking about sidepipes or the exaust exiting in front of the rear wheels. You might be able to sneak a rocker panel exit into the car but sidepipes are a very big stretch.

I'd expect a C5R or C6R are either very modified underneath or none of the stock floor pan and frame even exists at all.

ALso the C5R ( lower Pic) and C6r ( upper Pic) are 6" WIDER than our corvettes.

Thanks Glenn for the Pic

Look at the lower section / rocker panels. See how wide they are? and how wide the Fender flairs are?

the exhaust comes out under the number

It can be done, but not like the C5R or C6R race cars.

Seeing this thread makes me wonder. Does anyone know what brand of headers the C5.R uses? I know the exhaust they used was Borla, but I haven't been able to find any information on the headers used.
