Newbie Question!!!

I havn't done any mods really to my 2002 vette but, wanted to know if I add an X-pipe do I need to buy the cats as well? I seen the bolt on Borla X-pipe and was wondering if I can have a shop put it on without any thing else?

Thanks,
Tony

Word of advice : the x-pipe is a complete waste of time and money without a full exhaust. Save your money and get the x-pipe when you do headers.

2 cents deposited.

I only was interested in getting the X-pipe because I was interested in getting ride of the jinggle with the stock H-pipe. I heard that this would get rid of that sound is this correct???

Thanks,

Yes---but some cutting of the exhaust pipes is required....

I have the Titanium exhaust, so I don't want cutting of the exhaust. So, Borla would probably be my only option without getting cats - that will just bolt on???

Thanks again,
Tony P.
