Default Borla headers

A year or so ago I bought some stingers and an x-pipe from somebody off this forum. Anyways I saw that borla came out with some long tube headers for the c6. I just got off the phone with them and they told me that the x-pipe I have is the same one that comes with the kit of their headers. I asked him if they'd sell the headers alone and he told me it comes as a kit but I could sale the x-pipe that comes with it on eBay.

So basically whoever bought the stingers with the x-pipe can't just buy the headers by themselves. I don't really know crap about cars but I wouldn't have bought the x-pipe knowing I couldn't hook anything up to it. I was pumped when I saw borla was making headers that would fit on the x-pipe that I already bought from them.

Anyways, sorry for the rant. Next time I won't buy an x-pipe before headers!!!!

this is true in most cases. Most headers are sold as a kit with an Xpipe to guarantee a proper fit. I would never buy an xpipe with just a catback system, theres no point

What size is the X pipe? Should bolt up to a set of different headers no problem. Call LG I'm sure they can hook you up.

That is a good idea about calling different manufactures about it!! I don't know the size to be honest!! I'm almost thinking it's 2.5" maybe?? I looked on their site but I couldn't find what size it is.
