Default Muffler question

So I know in 2009 there was a slight change in the h pipe. 2005-2008 had a straight angle pipe going to the mufflers on the passenger side and in 2009 there was a little bend instead of it being straight.

By question is, will any 2005-2013 muffler fit on a c6? Did the actual axle back part of it change at all in 2009 or was it just the h pipe? reason I am asking is I can get mufflers off a 2007 and was wondering if they would fit my 2010.

Thanks in advance.

The axle back changed as well, so if you have a 09-13 X-pipe you need the axle back to match.

You can actually bolt up a 05-08 to a 09 and + X-pipe, but you will be unable to get the mufflers lined up.

I do not believe you can bolt up an 09 and + axle back to a 05-08 X-pipe.

You could always have a competent shop cut the passenger side X-pipe end off and weld on the correct mating piece.
