Default Headers and Exhaust Question

Hello, I have an 02 Z06. Right now it has the stock exhaust manifold with obx cat back exhaust. I just ordered the OBX long tube headers and OBX X pipe with high flow cats. My question is I am thinking of switching the exhaust to the Corsa Pace or Xtreme. The OBX exhaust just has too much drone. Do I need the Corsa X pipe or will the OBX X pipe be ok? This is my first Corvette and am still learning about how its setup. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

One should fit just as well as the other on the back end. I'd rather have the OBX headers and OBX midpipe to be the same. The exhaust should fit fine either way.

Awesome thanks. I was just confused because when I was looking at the Corsa exhaust it said the XO pipe was required.

They say their X pipe is required because they want to sell you more stuff---Most X pipes are all the same--Anything is better than the factory lame H pipe---
ALSO remember with LT headers you will NOT get all the HP on the table ( sometimes even less) without a re-tune----

Thanks. I have a halltech Cai as well and once the heads and new x pipe go in I have someone doing a tune on it so I should be good.
