I don't think so...the X-pipe is before the Stingers and will not affect the "drone". It may change the tone slightly but the drone is inescapable with the Stingers.

I'll have a Bassani X-pipe for sale in a few weeks. It's only been on the car for a year. The reason I'm selling it is because I'm installing a full Supermaxx Header system which includes an X-pipe.

The Bassani unit is top notch. I purchased it from Mid-America for $299. If I don't sell it beforehand, I plan on bringing it with me to the VetteFest in September.

about $1200.00 w/o headers.Installed Maganflow hi-flow cats, maganflow X-pipe.

Hope this helps.
I also went with the Magnaflow x as well to pair with my Borla Stingers. Very happy happy with the results. Smooths out deceleration and almost eliminates the 1500 rpm drone. Everybody needs one.
