Default Do C5 Kooks headers/mid pipe fit C6Z?

I have 1 7/8" Kooks and Kooks 3" mid section, catless. Wondering if they are shaped/formed similar enough that they can be installed on a C6Z?

If they do fit, i'd like to keep my entire setup such that i can install when i buy a C6Z next fall.

any input fellas? much appreciated.

The short answer is yes, they should fit. I've seen C5 headers/X-pipes used on base C6s so the contours/bends are at least similar.
But it's not always a direct clear cut fitment so it might still be best to sell off the old set and buy a new (or used) set designed for the C6 Z06.
Then there is the possible issue of the cylinder head exhaust ports (oval/D-shaped versus round etc.).
