Anyone Know if C5 Shortys or manifolds fit?

I tried a set of '03 Z06 manifolds and they definitely do not fit w/ the stock crossmember. Aftermarket tubular may be a different story.

Just looking at pics of the C5 manifolds tells me that they likely won't work, because they would interfere with the crossmember. Aftermarket C5 headers, long or short, probably won't work either.The only set of factory manifolds that would work are the F-body manifolds.
