Default Looking for Off road pipes?

Can someone give me a link where i can find a stock replacement pipe to eliminate the cats on my vette. I am not sure if they even make such a thing. I know they have the off-road x-pipes to work with aftermarket headers but do they have one that works with stock manifolds?

I am also looking for the corvette emblem that sits right below the back glass. Can someone point me in the right direction for these items. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

No i have never found out anything but i think for now i am just gone cut the cats off and weld some pipes in there place. I plan on getting long tubes eventually so there is no use in spending money on a off-road x for the stock manifolds.

Thanks. Is there a place that will even sell an O/R x-pipe for stock manifolds?

why dont you just have a muffler shop cut the cats out and and weld in a straight pipe. or buy an after market x pipe and have a muffler shop modify it to work with your exhause.

Sometimes shops are reluctant to delete cats to due emissions restrictions. It would be easier to buy and install some deletion pipes your self. I think I have seen a set before but cant remember who made them.
