X-Pipes
I want to put an X-pipe on my 2017 Corvette Grand Sport that would eliminate the secondary cats. I am not finding anything out there anymore for off road use that does not require me to install headers also. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.

The EPA cracked down on these a few years ago.
You can either look for used ones or find a shop that can fabricate a pipe after you delete the cats.

Speed Engineering, Extreme Online Store, or Billy Boat are three options that are readily available for cat-delete x-pipe.

Some companies sold a touring X pipe where you had to cut the secondary cats off your stock one and install them on the new X-pipe. What says you can't get custom straight pipes fabbed. Now does anyone still sell those. Not sure.

EOS is great, and cheap. End of the day this is just a straight pipe (ok 2 pipes if going EOS), it ain't fancy.
Got it from Forza just above

Forzo sells EOS, Borla, and Corsa X-pipes. Which one did you get?
OH, Never mine. I see you got the EOS. I got the same one. The thing you have to be careful about, is figuring out the perfect length. If you make the center connection joint a bit short, it will leak out of the rear joint. I used the original X-pipe as a guide. Then used exhaust pipe sealer.
