Default X Pipe
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?

There would be nearly no advantage at all on a stock setup like you're describing.

Not worth the trouble of switching it.

Probably not much. GM does not increase the HP output when the X pipe appeared. Of course, they do not measure HP at the rear wheels, tho.

Well they increased horsepower for the NPP exhaust. No reason they couldn't have for the X-pipe if they felt it made a difference.
