With just 5 inches pretty sure you wont have enough room to get the pipe up over the axle. I had mine on a lift and pretty sure that the muffler was well below the wheels when I got it to come up over the axle.

No. The mufflers and the over axle pipe are welded together unlike after market systems. I was up on ~20 inch jack stands and could not get them out so I just cut the OE pipe in about the same place as the after market systems.

rhino ramps are all basically the same height. It's those black plastic ramps you can buy at walmar . They are stronger then steel ones.
Also the jack stands will go on the rear crossmember. Look up diagrams for where jack stands can be put on a c6 corvette. Good luck

My SWAG -- I would think that the fiberglass would attenuate the lower frequencies because the spacing between the fibers is closer lower to Hz. Again it is my "Some Wild *** Guess". If you go through with this plan I would appreciate feedback on the results.
