GM offers a performance X pipe to replace the standard H pipe on C6's does any one know what the advantage of the 'x' verses the 'h' using the stock mufflers?
If the '08 & '09 spec out the same (hp & torc) what is the advantage? Are you saying GM changed the exhaust in '08 (from '07) & again in '09 but not the x pipe in '08?
Advantage(s) could have been price, better flow @ higher RPMs, more exotic sounding exhaust etc; kinda hard to tell, I don't work for GM.
I personally prefer x pipes over H pipes but that's my opipion. They help equalize exhaust pressures from one bank to the other. 09's also got a slightly different bend in the tubing near the axles but nothing that would affect performance.
