Default Need help with exhaust fitting

Hi, i am looking to buy a used SPL loud mount exhaust from 2010 Grandsport. I try to look online for fitting info but all they have is for the C6 which has 2.5" pipes. Mine is a 08 Z06 which has 3" x-pipe. Will the SPL exhaust fit in my 08 Z06? Can i bring the pipes to an muffler shop and have the enlarge them to 3"? Thank you for any advices. I did research but couldnt find anything helpful.

They can make anything fit but it won't just bolt on. GS is an LS3 which is 2.5". All Z06's are 3"

the only thing that won't convert over is the axleback.. which is what it sounds like you are working with.

All vettes 05-13 can swap exhausts directly EXCEPT 2009-20013 LS3's due to an issue with the mandrel bends over the right axle.
