Will a V6 Y-pipe bolt to a V8?

Just out of curiosity I'm wondering if a stock V6 Y-pipe will bolt to a V8 without modification. I know that there are things to consider for the fitment like the size of the engine and how the exhaust manifolds are shaped. Could anybody clarify for me if It can be done without modification?

No, they are two different animals, not even close.
