Default LS7 heads on c5 headers?

I did some searching here on the forum, and found lots of info of people doing complete ls7 swaps into c5s, but not much talk about what headers were used. A few people told me standard headers, like c5 kooks, or lg would not work, that they would not bolt up. The exhaust ports appear higher on the ls7 heads, but the bolt pattern appears the same. I'm looking to buy a set of headers to use with ls7 heads, but want to get what will work for sure.

They look like they will, but you cant really go off of that. I would call one of the many Vendors on here and ask them about it.

I got my Kooks headers from Texas Speed. They had the LS7 flange and the pipes fit a C5.
