Default ls7 manifold questions

Does anybody make an X pipe to use the stock manifolds? Or even a replacement cat section?
Thanks

Borla, magnaflow and Corsa sell x-pipes that replaces the stock ls7 mid pipe, or you can get a 09-11 zr1 x pipe or 2011 z06 x pipe same thing. Before I went to longtube headers I just had a muffler shop cut the H section of my stock midpipe and weld in a universal x section, fit perfect cost was 80 including labor.

Nobody makes replacement cat sections for the ls7, if you are wanting to delete the cats just gut them or have a shop cut them out and weld in straight pipes.

Are you looking for power or sound? The z06 h-pipe was shown on a dyno to produce more power than an x-pipe.
