Default NP----X Pipe ?

I was checking under my 09 C6 the other day and noticed it has a factory X pipe. Someone told me it comes standard with NPP. Is this true or do they all have the X pipe now.
Thanks

edited to add: Now I know where I read it. The new Motor Trend has a write up on the Grand Sport.

Quote " The burble and snarl of the X-pipe dual-mode exhaust system (base cars get a H pipe) seems worth every penny."

The article is full of inaccuracys including ALL GS manual cars get the dry-sump oiling system.

Edited to add: MT also states the GS has a close ratio tranny. I know it has a little different gearing but it has a wide ration tranny compared to the base car.

I believe the X-Pipe was standard beginning in 08' NPP is an option.

I know NPP is a option but a read a article that stated the NPP cars got a X pipe and the non NPP cars still got the H pipe. Fact or fiction

I believe the X-Pipe was standard on all C6's beginning with the 2008 models.

Except for the Z06, which still has an h-pipe for no reason that I can conceive.

My 09 C6Z is getting a Corsa x-pipe to fix that next week.
