The one on Corvettemods? I did a search there; 7 C5 X pipes... which one?
Edit;
Pretty sure Magnaflow has more than one option for that matter.
What are you hoping to accomplish? An X will make your exhaust sound nicer (IMO), sportier, a bit queiter. Performance not affected appreciably.
Ive seen both types used. I Just dont understand the difference. Is the corvette mods version what they call a true x pipe or does it not matter which type you use?
I am just wanting to rid that h pipe sound for a smoother sound.

Also didn't like the H pipe sound, enough reason to install one IMO.
I don't like the Corvettemods unit as it wasn't mandrel formed, ending up with compressed inner radii. It also cuts out a fair bit of middle section to achieve the crossover of gases (reducing overall flow). 3rd; $190? Wow. The only potential positive is it may have the correct spacing.
I bought the Magnaflow unit in the 2nk link. Depending on what you have for an exhaust, the spacing is likely not correct. It is narrower than the factory pipes. I had my fabricator widen mine by about an inch.
I couldn't find one that matched the spacing.
Otherwise factory exhaust?

Those both looks like the center section of a X-pipe. you will have to do more cutting and welding or more clamps. I will be selling my LG x-pipe in the future since I have new LG headers with X-pipe coming.
Do you know what the other unit is made out of? We didnt see that info in the link, but our unit will be build completely from stainless steel, and has a lifetime warranty. As mentioned by grantv, all of our products are mandrel-bent for the best flow and performance. If your pipe spacing is a bit further apart, we offer the style pictured below, which may be easier for your exhaust shop to install. Please let us know if you have any other questions!
Magnaflow and grant. I am currently running stock mid with a custom axleback. The one from you magnaflow that I have posted. I saw someone selling a stock catback with the exact same one on theirs. So Im sure Itll fit if I get the one with the inlet and outlet set at 2.5".
As much as my setup makes it sound half cammed and half stock cam, I just need to put the x in to smooth it out.
I think that one magnaflow that you posted is more for camaros and firebirds because of how their piping is routed. I need the one I posted for a straighter flow and not so much curves. Ill be ordering it soon. I just wish I could find the site where I found it for 40 bucks.
