I just pulled up the post from home (made it at work) and I can see All the pictures.

Please re-read the post and see if the rest of the pics show up.

. Where are you located?

Its cold here in CT also but, I still drive my car!!

If you take PHOTOS of how the system isn't fitting,,, maybe we can make suggestions on a solution.

Did you have an aftermarket x pipe installed perviously?

The only Titanium in the exhaust on a ZO6 is the Ti mufflers and piping that goes over the CV joint shafts. The remainder of the Exhaust is the SAME as all other C5's.

This is all Ti




All the other C5 Mid-pipes are the same length (when used with the exhaust manifolds that they were designed to connect to) and end with the same flanges that you are trying to connect to.

Compare your OLD muffler system to the Ti muffler system for length and where the bracket that sticks into the rubber mount ends.

Bill

WELL ,Thanks to mr Bill C and all the other vette guys who gave me helpful hints.Finally found the time to get under the vette. Carbide bits and high speed grinder took care of alignment problem.Did tear up some bits though,settled on 1.5'' for both sides .perfectly level, just took about 4 hrs worth of messing around.Will send some pics if someone can explain how.Mr Bill?

Register on PHOTOBUCKET www.photobucket.com and up-load your photos to the website.

Once you get the photos up-loaded, it will give you an option to copy a LINK that you can copy and paste into your post.

Copy the IMG link and it will look like this

" IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v402/bill327/C5LS6PCVRouting_zpsaa785b36.gif[/IMG "



That IMG code produces this in you post



If I can do it,, anyone can!
