Just checking - ZO6 H-Pipe stainless?

It is right? I ask because I'm thinking of adding an "X" pipe. Couldn't I just cut out the "H" and weld in an "X"? Anyone done this?

I just took mine out yesterday... It was much heavier than the Ti that I put in and it was magnetic. I say that equals a yes, but I could be wrong.

I think that section is mild steel.

I know it's magnetic and it appears to be aluminized steel...

Only the axle-back portion of the Z06 Ti exhaust is titanium. I think the H-pipe is some sort of steel. Before I did my LT headers, I just had the X-pipe welded in:

This pipe mod may be one to consider as well.
