Thanks ,is there not a difference between the Z06 and the standard C6 ,pipe Diameter ?? I hope you are correct because I think I am going to pick up a stock X pipe from an 08 and install it into my system for a more balanced exhaust note . Hopefully somebody has actually done this switch and will chime in thanks again I am getting hopeful now..

Well that's not the question you asked...

Z06 is a 3" exhaust whereas the Coupe/Vert is a 2.5" exhaust.

Coupe/Vert 2.5" H or X will interchange.

I was not aware that Z06 had anything other than an X pipe.

C6 is an 2.5" H pipe till '07, '08 and up it's an 2.5" X pipe and is interchangeable with earlier years.

Z06 thru '08 is a 3.0" H pipe and does not interchange with the C6 mid pipe.
