What is this??
I've searched the forums and, other than the cats, this mid pipe doesn't look stock to me with the x-pipe. Was this a custom piece?
Also, when I install LT's could I keep this mid pipe, or go ahead and buy high flow cats with x-pipe?
Sorry about the bad pics...

Thats what I was thinking too, that the previous owner had an x pipe welded in place of the stock H, seemed kinda odd to me.
Thanks, ill try it out with just headers and stock cats..

I can honestly say that most threads I read concerning someone and a recently purchased (used) corvette, there is always some cool stuff the new owner finds. In my 01 Convertible, I found a Hypertech programmer with manual in the back and didn't even know it had a 12 disc changer too. I'm waiting for someone to find a winning lotto ticket or Pam Anderson's underwear from her Bay Watch days.

I did the exact same thing to my car. Bought an after market x pipe and replaced the h pipe. The stock H pipe only has a hole the size of a dime in each pipe. While there I did the bypass mod on the stock muffler. Made a nice difference in sound.

im just wondering if LT's with 3" collectors will bolt onto my midpipe.
