What comes after an x pipe?

So I'm trying to get a new exhaust and I'm wondering what I need. I want longtube heads and an x pipe without cats. What comes directly after the x pipe is what I need to know.

All you would need is the axle back part of the exhaust system then. We offer at aFe POWER, PFADT series headers, and x pipes that will bolt right on to your C5 corvette.

Some manufacturers "mid-pipes" are direct bolt on from headers to muffler connection. Some require you cut and re-use your existing rear part of the mid-pipe.

What's commonly known as a "catback".

Correct

(you can use your stock cat back if you want)

Keep in mind that if you buy X-brand headers, you'll have to buy their mid-pipe to mate up. The cat back, or mufflers (starts just before the axles), all interchange as far as I am aware. The Texas Speed set-up re-uses a portion of your mid-pipe, they are who I was previously referring to when I noted the potential re-use of part of the stock midpipes.
