Default Which X-Pipe gets rid of Cats?

Im going to be doing an exhaust on my soon to be first corvette z06 and was wondering which x pip will eliminate the kitties? I wasnt sure if the corsa or borla did, and will they bolt up to the B&B bullet system?

It all depends on what headers you have (stock, LG, TPIS, etc). Also eliminating the cats doesn't really net you much hp/tq as the stockers flow pretty darn good already. I only gained at peak 4-rwhp.......and even lost 4 rwhp at 3500 rpms (by smoothing out a spike). At that time my setup was H/C and TPIS headers with MTI offroad x-pipe.

Keepin the stockers....I just like the smell of no cats! Plus it sounds a lot better.

I wouldn't waste my time, install a set of LT's at the same time.

I did have a breathless offroad x that bolted to the stock manifolds and it was a POS. I'm not sure if anyone else makes one.

I removed the high flow Kooks Cats in favor of the off road pipe. I sure hope that I didn't lose HP
