Default X-Pipes??

Does anyone know of a company that makes an x-pipe for a 06 C6 with the A6 paddle shift trans? I've seen various companies that make one, but none of them will fit my trans appearently, can anyone help?

All aftermarket X Pipes I've seen terminate at the same point as the stock H Pipe. The axle back portion is the problem with the A6. You need an X Pipe that bolts to your existing exhaust manifold/header/cats.

If you have stock headers/cats look into a stock '08 replacement X Pipe.

If you have headers/cats (or cat delete) you will have to purchase the X Pipe from the header manufacturer.

I can get you a B&B X-pipe for your C6 that will fit without issue.

Give us a call.

Check out a company called Dr. Gas. They just built me a custom x pipe for my set up. Called the Tandem Crossover on their website. See: www.drgas.com. Good luck

which ones are you saying won't fit? All of them should. If your doing a header/x-pipe job yourself, I would recommend Kooks.. They tend to need very little tweaking to get on there.
