Neablas,
That looks like a Bassani center mounted muffler X-pipe setup. There website doesn't show any pic's of it though.
Bassani is working on getting a CARB# for their LT headers and I have been looking at this setup to go along with their LT's if they are successful.
Check out this link: http://corvettefever.com/techarticle..._install_power
go to the bottom and click on page 2 and you'll see a pic of this.
After further review the one you show is round and the Bassani is flat like a typical muffler. Curious to see if someone else can come up with an answer to this.

Neablas,
You can have a muffler shop weld in an X-pipe for you. If you don't want to go that route a Magnaflow or Bassani cat back style X-pipe would bolt on but you would still have to cut and clamp to install it. I have a Magnaflow X-pipe myself. The Bassaini is a little cheaper and looks better but nobody is going to see it underneath anyway.

I don't know about raspy but it should reduce if not eliminate the popping. They are both very similar in design, not like the Corsa and other models that are just cut and welded together. Shouldn't be much difference if any at all with that tru X design.

Hey kyle,
I had a BPP offroad pipe welded into my mid-pipe in place of the Catalytic converters.
Best of luck in your search.
