Default Best sounding/performing O/R X pipe?

I have stock headers on my corvette, so i cant go with a dynatech O/R x pipe like i originally wanted to do, but i am going to go with some sort of x pipe. My question is what brand you guys recommend and also could you send me a link to what you suggest, I'm having a tough time finding any corvette parts on the internet. It has to be O/R because well frankly 4 cats are 4 to many.

Thanks for any information.

I doubt anyone here has back to back tested on a dyno with a variety of X-pipes.. Just get the one you can afford

Not about the money, i just really am not familiar with the corvette Pipes setup, coming from a mustang. Does the one x-pipe eliminate all 4 cats or do i need more pipes to do that?

I ran a Bassani X-pipe on my '00. Excellent product.

Look under your car and it will make more sense..and I run magnaflow under my car. NOT using magnaflow for the X-pipe though..I'm fine with aluminized and don't really need stainless. The flow of just about all of the X-pipes has got to be very close when it comes to rear wheel horsepower and even probably CFM...

Unless you go REALLY cheap..then they just suck

a corvette x pipe is different, all the x pipes for a vette are designed to be put on after the cats. you would have to get a muffler shop (or yourself) to cut off the cats and weld a new straight through pipe to get rid of them or buy long tube headers that dont come with cats
