X-Pipe/Headers Question
I've got a DSOM C6 Coupe with the Quad Oval Tip Bullets on there. I wanna add the B&B X-Pipe next week. Am I expecting the car to be louder with less resonance? Also, I noticed the B&B Long Tubes have no cats. Will I pass a smog test if I slap those on? If not, what can I do where I keep my cats but get some long tubes on there? Or should I just weld the stock cats onto a short tube setup (can you even do that)? Thanks for the info!

I would call Mike at B&B and discuss your options with him. He is very knowledgable on this topic. The "Boss" (Billy Boat) owns a C6 that is one of their test vehicles.

So, if you want cats and headers, they must somehow be incorporated into the X pipe. As someone said, B&B makes an X pipe set up this way. Or, you can have one welded into an X pipe later.
