Bassani and Corsa are also good.

Just put my Corsa unit on yesterday and got a noticably nicer idle and more mid range torque. That's strictly seat of the pants, no dyno, but it feels good. Crisp, right up to the 6,000 rpm shift point on my A4 when I get a nice chirp! Plus it matched my Mufflers!
Save the wave! Wave at EVERY Corvette you pass!!

You will either have to replace complete cat h-pipe unit with cat x-pipe assembly, or cut.

Installed the Bassani, the actual X portion is stamped metal welded together, rather than just two pipes with the openings on the side, appeared to be a high quality approach
