Default X Pipe

I have a Borla Xpipe on my Stingray. I have a new Z06 being shipped to me. I was thinking about removing the Borla from my Stingray and installing it on the Z06. But I have over 110,000 miles on that Borla X pipe. How long do these X pipes last? Maybe I should just buy a new one to install. What do you think?

Depending on which Borla X pipe....won't be an option to buy a "new" one, as they are no longer produced.

It's stainless steel. I'm sure its still fine. I would take it off the Z51 and put it on the Z06. Especially if it is the 60457 version.

It’s stainless steel. It might be a little grungy w/110,000 miles, but it’ll be perfectly fine. As mentioned, just buy new donut gaskets. Good news, it’ll sound better/louder on the LT4
