H Pipe change
This was answered before but I can't find where it was....
What year did the Z06 H pipe change? I tried to put 2013 Z06 mufflers on my 2006 and there was a bend required on the passenger side muffler to fit. I am going to look for the correct year H pipe and install it....the mufflers sit back too far and hit the frame, creating a very bad harmonic vibration throughout the car at resonance. Figure using the correct H pipe will cure that.

H-pipe won't fix the frame interference problem. I can only assume the rest of your '06 exhaust system is stock and you're trying to use '13 Z06 mufflers. Is that correct or are there other exhaust mods?

Be much easier to just be able to replace the H pipe with a 2012 pipe, as I 'thought' that would work..I know the 2013 won't.
Oh well!

All of a sudden, I think the missing key piece of the puzzle must be that you're attempting to put the 3" Z06 pipe onto your 2.5" stock '06 H-pipe without any changes to the H-pipe.
If that's true, then yes, simply cut off some pipe to get the clearance you need.

I was hoping to find an earlier H(X??) pipe..what, 2008-2012??, that would work with the 2013 Z06 mufflers.
Right now, the vibration at resonance isn't bad..only noticeable through the gears..in top gear, (automatic) no vibration at all....
