The cats on the stock car are one piece....and in your case you have pre cats. GM doesn't expect its buyers to be taking the cats off of their cars so they don't exactly set them up for a plug and play type deal. FLP does make a header "system" that includes headers, Hi flo cats, ORPs, and an X-pipe. When you have this setup it makes it very easy to switch from cats to ORPs and back. I maybe wrong, but if you want just ORPs, I think you will have to do some cutting.

We make one in house that bolts up directly to stock manifolds or LT headers. Too stock manifolds $500 uses a Corsa X-pipe.

Bassani sells a two piece setup. I forget the Part Numbers but they are listed on their website. It goes from the back of the Manifolds to the cat back flange. I believe it costs around 500 dollars.

These still aren't bolt on applications. You will have to cut and possibly weld.

Ours are custom welded we just use the Corsa x-pipe and make extentions that are welded for a full bolt on piece.

Nate, just to verify, this is a x-pipe unit that will bolt on to a stock 01 Z06 manifolds and the muffler pipes with no welding or cutting required, and that could be done in my driveway with jackstands and handtools? I'm mainly looking for something to improve the sound of the car and maybe pick up a little HP. Your unit sounds like it might be exactly what I'm looking for.
