LG Headers / Offroad X-pipe -- NPP?
Hey guys,
I currently have a set of LG LT running down to an off road X-Pipe on my car. Then a set of B&B Bullets to finish it off... I've decided it is way too loud and purchased a set of NPP mufflers from an 08 vette today.
I believe that the NPP mufflers are 2.5", right? That means I'll need to find some sort of reducer coming off of the X-Pipe?
Has anyone installed this type of setup yet?
Thanks!

If you haven't already looked into it I would get the NPP in a box as well. It's fairly easy to hook up and you can open or close the bi-mode/NPP exhaust. It's decently loud when open but it will drone at certain engine loads. It's pretty quiet when closed.

I believe LG makes reducers specifically for 2.5" axlebacks. I had a set of 2.5" MA Motorworks mufflers on my car before I went with a Z06 bi-mode exhaust.

Second;I believe the off road X pipe was available in both 2.5" and 3.0" so you need to measure and see which one you have. If the back of the X pipe is 2.5" you can just bolt it up if you have an NPP exhaust.

I have read on here that a lot of members buy aftermarket exhaust before or after buying headers only to (finally) admit that they made a mistake and wasted a lot of money on an exhaust system that is now to loud.
I would suggest going with the stock 430 HP mufflers, they are quiet at idle and cruise but do start to talk under full guns with headers. They are practically giving them away if you don't already have them and with nothing more to buy, no moving parts that could malfunction; just bolt them on and from my experience they make just as much power as the NPP mufflers from the many trips I have made to the drag strip. Why do we feel the need to complicate things all the time?

First; Do you have '08 NPP mufflers or '08 Z06 bimode mufflers? The NPP's are 2.5", the Z06 are 3.0".
Second;I believe the off road X pipe was available in both 2.5" and 3.0" so you need to measure and see which one you have. If the back of the X pipe is 2.5" you can just bolt it up if you have an NPP exhaust.

That's what I would do, set it up like the factory i.e. RPM controlled so the extra flow/HP is there when you need it without thinking about it. When someone hits it next to me while going down the road I don't want to have to remember to hit the switch.
