Default H pipe length

I read that there are 4 configs for the exhaust on a C5. I'm trying to return mine to stock and was wondering if all h pipes are the same length?

All the H pipes are the same,, Its the angle of the header pipe (Midpipe Exhaust Flange) to where it connects to the manifold that is different. Plus, you have to figure out if your car had PUP CATS or not. What year C5 do you have? That makes a BIG difference in which pipes you need.

I have a '99 base automatic. First, I don't know if the manifold is stock. Another problem is the cats have been shortened to fit 2 hi-flo glass packs. Now one cat is bad and I'm trying to get back to stock. It's a mess and may just leave it to the muffler man who happens to have a C5...but his is probably a different year. I'm between a rock and a hard place.
