C5- Who makes X/H pipes that bolt to manifolds (cat delete) If I don't find a used Magnacharger quick I'll just limit my bolt on budget to $1,500 (small/medium cam,springs,pulley) I already have a ported tb.
All the X/H pipes on the market eighther include the cats or bolt on after the factory cats.
Who makes a pipe that will connect my factory manifolds to the factory Ti exhaust? There has to be something out there, but I can't find anything!
TIA

I haven't seen anything advertised like that. You could buy a weld in x-pipe and then find an exhaust shop willing to delete the cats for you (which will be tough, big fines if caught). My suggestion if you are going with a supercharger or heads/cam is to buy a long tube header package with either no cats or the option for removable cats. You'll leave a lot of power on the table trying to run either through manifolds.

I did the custom center pipe. I deleted the cats and replace them with a off road x-pipe from breathless performance. This bolted to my factory manifolds and my stock TIs. I am planning to replace the whole system with a long tube. I will be selling the center pipe for about $250. It gave the car a more throaty sound. And gave me an extra 15-20 rwhp.

Bassani!!!
Aside from their traditional x-pipe that replaces the h-pipe, they have a foward x-pipe that replaces the cats. It installs the same, except that it bolts to the exhaust manifolds and you have to cut the stock mid section after the cats and clamp. Whereas the regular x-pipe bolts to the catback and clamps at the midpipe. If you don't want to do any cutting you can buy both x-pipe sections and completely unbolt the whole stock midpipe/cats section. I personally like the gurgling backfire sounds of the stock h-pipe, so I am running only the cat-delete x-pipe from bassani with my stock h-pipe.
Hope this helps!
