Added Magnaflow X-Pipe
I just added the Magnaflow X-pipe to my system, which has the A & A Mod. It really smooths out the idle and almost completely eliminates the burble. Also, no popping on deceleration.
I also have a set of 2002 Zo6 Ti mufflers which I am working on making the A & A mod to. I just got in two pieces of 1 1/2" titanium tubing to have welded in. Figuring out the correct angles to cut them is turning into a real bear, but I am getting there. Life is more fun when you have a personal Corvette project going on.

You might want to try getting some same diameter plastic tubing to experiment on and custom fitting onto the exhaust to get a couple of "templates" to pattern your titanium pipes to. That way, if you goof, just grab another piece of plastic and try again.

Re: Added Magnaflow X-Pipe (CliffB-99)
Another option is to tightly wrap thin poster board around the pipe and glue or tape it to form a cardboard tube. You trim it to fit the desired location, then slip it back over the pipe and mark the cut edge with a marker.
Be forewarned that you cannot just weld Ti like a piece of steel, otherwise good luck.
