Default Header & x pipe combo (help)

Good evening, I am currently gathering all the parts i need to do a full stage 2 cam kit on my car and I need some help with information on what exhaust setup you guys are running.

Today i picked up some 1' 7/8' Kooks headers for the c7. I heard they had the best fitment and performance, and im not a big fan of cheaping out on performance components so I think its the best option in that regard, but i have no idea what X pipe fits to this set of headers. I've seen some people in the forum say that this set of headers can only fit on kooks X pipe, so i need to know if that's true (considering they are another $1400 which is absurd for a mid pipe).

Does anyone running the Kooks headers know if they work with any other X pipes?

Im looking for an X pipe that fits to the kooks headers and also works with the stock NPP mufflers. Id like to stay under $800. Let me know if there's anything on the market that works with what im trying to achieve.

With any long tube header, you must buy their xpipe. All of the x-pipes will mate to any axle back exhaust.

Yes, you'll want a Kooks X-Pipe. Are you looking for Catted or Catless?

We're a Kooks dealer and would be happy to help. Kooks is running a sale too
