Default What X pipe is this?
I have a set of Kooks headers to install and was going to fab up some stainless adaptors to hook up to my current exhaust, trouble is stock cats are close/tight to where the header collectors are. The mufflers are ??? ZO6 Ti ??? they say GM and titanium on them. What X pipe is this and since I love the sound of this X and Ti setup should I just sell the X and buy a Kooks X??? What X and what should I do????

Thanks, Tom

Looks like a stock x pipe that has been modified. If you are doing Kooks longtubes it would be best to just get the matching x pipe frome them and not have to worry about the fitment.

The X pipes welds look factory but I didnt think GM put X pipes on... The kid I bought the car off of said 2006 ZO6 for the donor of the mufflers and wheels I think?

just get the matching Kooks x-pipe, you can go with or w/o cats. That x-pipe looks like either Borla or Corsa.....had one before.

Off topic here.

Maybe it is just an optical illusion to me, but is your car on a lift in that picture? If so, it looks to me that the arms of the lift are under the floor board. They should be under the frame rails.

Yup, optical illusion. I have hockey pucks on top of the lift arms at the jacking points.

Thank goodness. I was trying to be as nice as I could about it without totally freaking out.
