In fact, looking at the stock exhaust on a 94 ZR, the recess is the same.

Dom,
No, I don't think the differences between the LT5 vs. LTx is the issue. There is enough collective length adjustment within the various joints to assimilate any minor position differences stemming from engine type. Case in point: My system is fabricated from various parts of three systems. Certainly, any minor dimensional differences resulting from different motors would no longer influence my MF muffler mounting. But! I have the same problem as you had.
The problem is the short tips combined with that fixed, rigid hanger. Longer tips and an adjustable hanger bracket would allow the tips to extend slightly AND still the muffler body would clear that brace so the muff could be drawn up (the way yours are now), methinks
. And...long tips might afford purchase for a flapper...Just a thought!
