Default X pipe weld in section for Z06 ??

Can't justify spending over $400 for corsa X pipe when can just get x pipe insert have Muff shop cut out H section weld in X pipe section for a 1/4 of the price .
Just can not seem to find the correct size x pipe section to buy ?
Has anyone done this / where to buy ?

Have the muffler shop get it, stock size for base is 2 1/2". I brought my C4 to a local muffler shop a few years ago and told them what I wanted. They had no problem getting the parts.

I thought about doing the same, then I came across a great deal on a Corsa axle back exhaust that's 3", so now I need a 3" cross over section.

Default Difference between stock H & new X pipe?

Anyone notice an improvement when replacing their stock H pipe with an X? Sound quality or performance changes?
