I had it on my stock system with the Sports too, as in the same case with 65vetteC6, and after 50 miles of normal driving or so, the computer seemed to relearn itself and it actually drove better, I believe. At least by feel it did. But last week I went to Melrose headers, hi flo cats and their x-pipe and now I have one corsa x-pipe for sale-lol. Only put maybe 3-400 miles on it since I had it installed. By the way, and this thread answer wasn't to sell you this pipe but if you're interested, let me know and I will make it worth your while to buy it from me and you pay the shipping. But in any case, no matter who you buy it from, you should do it. The exhaust just feels like it flows better.

Definitely compatible. I install one this weekend
Can be done in a driveway with only the front of the vette lifted.
Two people during install is helpful (but not necessary).
Watch out for bending or damage to the cat to h-pipe studs.
You'll also want to re-align your muffler tips before torque-ing all the bolts & nuts.
I am awaiting the computer to re-learn; as is there is more burble on deacceration than with the h-pipe...not what I expected.

Thanks for the replies. The reason I was considering this is that I don't like the sound of the exhaust under acceleration and would be happier if it was quieter and smoother sounding. The x-pipe should allow pulsing thru both pipes and be quieter?
