Default Mid pipe and NPP question

What is the difference between an 08 midpipe and 09 and up? Want to fit 2011 npp mufflers on my 07.

My understanding is it's just a different bend that causes the two to not be compatible. Haven't seen them in person though. Check these threads for info:

They are different, if you want to use a 09 or later setup on an 08 and older Vette you will need the x-pipe to make this work

Default NPP exhausts

Why bother I have a like new set of NPP exhausts taken off my 08 that just bolt on with the Mild to Wild control for $800.00
Tips are perfect.
Send me a PM as if they don't sell before Carlisle then they will be there

I put NPP takeoffs onto my 2007 Coupe... All my research indicated the only year that would fit without issues was 2008 NPP... the over the axle mate to the H pipe changed a little bit on one side after 2008.... So, my advice is look for a set of 2008 NPP Take offs and I know it will work from experience... just my ten cents.

I used a 08' system on my 07' fit perfect.
