Default NPP fitment question

I am looking for a set of NPP mufflers for my 2006 3LT Coupe with A6 paddle shift. I have a thread up on the parts for sale/wanted forum. Then I stumble across a guy on the forum with a set for sale from a 2012 GShttp://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-p...-or-borla.html. What has to be done to fit these to my 'Vette?
Thanks.

I'm not positive, but I believe only the '05 to '08 cars are compatible.

The over-axle pipes connect to the intermediate pipe at a different angle on the '09-newer cars.
Also, the Z06 pipes are 3" diameter vs the smaller 2.5" C6 pipes.

Pretty sure you will want something from a regular '08 C6.

I'm 'kinda in the same situation with my '05/A4. My flowmaster drone is starting to drive me nuts.
A set of NPP's would be nice to have.

Grand Sports still have 2.5" pipes. If it is just the angle of attachment; then they should be able to be adjusted to fit.

The right side pipe on the 09^ is just a little bit different angle but enough that it's not a direct bolt on. Your local muffler shop can make the bend eaisly (about 3 to 5 degree) or you can pick up an 09^ X or H pipe and it will be a direct bolt on. I'm running '10 NPP with a '10 X pipe on my '08.

So if I got a set of Kooks LT Headers and X-pipe for 09^ it would make it a direct bolt up? Because that is my final intention.
