Default Choose the correct X-PIPE

Hello guys,
Sorry for my bad English, I m an international student

I have a C6 Z51 6speed manual 2005 with a corsa sport exhaust and I want to put on also a X-PIPE.

My questions are:

which brand of x-pipe?

I mean, in future months I plan to replace the stock header with HOOKS HEADER probably with NO-CAT
and if I have enough money i will replace also corsa sport with CORSA XTREME

So which brand of x pipe can fit under my vette and made HOOKS HEADER working?

I found CORSA X PIPE it will work good with this combination?
It will work also with XTREME?

Or I have to buy a specific brand of x pipe?

Thanks in advance for your answers!Ale

I would recommend upgrading to Kooks Headers & X-Pipe at the same time. Feel free to contact me for pricing and if you have any questions.

Wait until you add the headers to fool with the "X" pipe. Not sure about Kooks, but LG makes mid pipes, with the X pipe, that bolt from headers to the stock over axle pipes. You can choose catted or catless. I'd wait on the muffler swap. What you have will be way louder with the headers. If you go catless, it will be louder yet.
