Your profile says you have a 2008 C6. If that is accurate you all ready have an X-pipe from the factory. There will be ZERO change or benefit going with an aftermarket X-pipe.

I have an 08 Z06 - and my car came with an H pipe installed.

If i felt like blowing a few K on headers/pipes I wouldnt mind an X pipe I suppose. I kind of like the burble on decel though.
