You talking about just an Xpipe to go on factory manifolds and axle back?
Here is what I bought and gave a before and after video on.

I am looking to add a better exhaust sound to my 2015 Z-51...no real need to increase the hp...its just fine for me...this x-pipe seems reasonable...questions for you guys...what does it do for my extended warranty....any voids? Also...one more...can I install this in my garage which does not have a lift?...just available (2) jacks and (4) stands...or could I use ramps? I am thin in body mass but my back is not as good as it use to be... I have done plenty of bolt on modifications to my vehicles over the years but my vette seems to worry me some as it is so low to the ground to start with and as it is my most cherished vehicle ever owned....don't want to make a mistake here...any advise without bashing would be greatly appreciated...even if you told me to go to my dealer to have it installed! I am not scared to make the mechanical swap but warranty void I am scared of and proper access to the under body without damage too...thanks in advance for any help!

No worries brother! I can say I wouldn’t WANT to do the job on the ground with jack stands. If I didn’t have a lift I would of paid a muffler shop to put it on.
Either route just make sure you remove the gasket donuts from the stock xpipe. Those have to get moved to the new xpipe.

Got the x pipe today and have found access to a lift through my plumber (I am a general contractor)....he restores Jeeps for a hobby...we will forgo this together...he as a full lift drive on style...thanks for your help thus far...can't wait for this to happen....plan to replace axle back exhaust next along with an intake upgrade...

The install was a breeze just as you said C7&7...it took a bit longer than yours cause we had to let things cool down before we could start...not much noticeable difference in sound on my Z-51 nor any noticeable performance gain...do not have access to a Dino...I intend as I can afford things to take this to the next level soon...thanks again for your help on this!

Well what can I say other than oops! Somehow without me realizing after showing my vette off to Roger my plumber who helped me with his lift...the exhaust mode was left in standard instead of sport/track mode! I took it out today and discovered this... in sport/track mode the exhaust note has a noticeable difference in tone and aggressiveness. When using the paddle shifters and downshifting a nice gurgle is heard and when up shifting after the indicator lights start to light on the display wow ...a nice difference is noticeable! Sorry for my oversight and my original comment! Thanks for your support!
