Default Corvette Corsa Exhaust

I have some corsa exhaust mufflers off a 04 Zo6 and am wanting to do a custom setup on my truck with them. I have pacesetter longtubes with off road y-pipe already, but am planning on running duals with xpipe at around where the factory muffler location would be on my 06 CCSB and running it over the axle and having the mufflers mounted at the rear where my spare tire used to be.

My questions are
1. Is there any downfall or loss of power by positioning them where im planning?
2. How can i tell which corsa mufflers i have im unsure if they are touring or sport, i cannot find any numbers on either muffler?





These are the only pics i have of the mufflers right now, i can get more if needed tomorrow since they are in my storage unit.

Any info and help will be appreciated

There is a truck in Mansfield, TX that has C5 mufflers mounted in the spare tire location, he also has a fuel cell in the tool box in the bed...true dual equal length (since no gas tank under truck) and it sounds frukkin awesome!

True dual equal length ALWAYS sounds awesome. You just can't beat it. I don't know how that set up would look on your truck though where the mufflers would be so exposed. The vette bumper covers the mufflers and only exposes the tips, but in your truck it would all be seen.

if i do this setup, you wont be able to see the mufflers and will eventually route them out an RST rollpan, but until i get it ordered was planning on just dumping off the muffler with some clamp on dumps so not to have to weld it and then have to cut on the mufflers piping

I think it would be unique. I'm always up for new ideas. We had a Corsa Tigershark system on a C5Z and all that thing did was break the rear hangers, near the tips. For what it costed, it was a huge disappointment in quality. But sound? Absolutely amazing.
