I had a couple of hours to look more at the exhaust pipes coming off of the C6 Vette manifolds.
With the motor still out of the car, I was able to see things quite well and cut a section of 2.25" pipe to mock things up. It looks like it is not going to be as difficult as I thought.
The socket and extension are roughly where the steering column will be. I will verify when the motor is in the car before I tack anything in place, but it is looking ok so far.
I tried the same section of pipe on the passenger side and it looks like I might be able to get away with identical front sections. Again, I will have to wait to verify when it is in the car.
