literally the only video worth watching on this topic. the rest are all wannabe vloggers with 10 minutes of useless fill for more $. Ty for quality content
That cold start was amazing. You forgot to let us hear the car in between exhausts. It's pointless but fun to hear what any car sounds like with just a down pipe. Keep up the good work guys!
Well done mates from an enthusiast perspective this is what we love to see !!!! The dedication and dollars spent to test and log the data is much appreciated if i had the money i would give you all the business in the world as you were willing to be transparent with us the consumer .
Thanks for doing these tests after looking on UA-cam for a long time trying to find test like this with X pipes because I'm still not sure what to put on my 2018 ZO6 but this helps thank you
I know this is a older vid on the xpipe but i had a question how tight to make the round clamps where the xpipe meets the muffler pipe. I have the kooks header and xpipe and jis wanna know the torque to make a good seal. Thanks for this imformative vid on the c7 vette
Really great video, thank you...I have a 2016 Z06 and I am looking to add some "simple" HP. It is still under warrantee, not sure if this would mess with that.
Didn't the titanium one have a bigger diameter? It doesn't make sense to me why it's weight would affect power, weight usually affects when the car is moving.
The sound of the full titanium system (your X pipe with the Akrapovic dampers) is the best so far. Looks great too. Next up, LHT headers in titanium? :P
LHT, great analysis. Thank you for taking the time and money to do this. Is this Z06 a "50 state legal" or a CA CARB Corvette? GM makes two. One of course for the state of CA. I'm gonna end up going with the Borla for sound and power. The Corsa is too raspy. Your exhaust is very nice but I'm sure I can't afford it ;).
Felix Perez I think only the Ca model is the specific model for ca. I’m not sure. The cheapest and best mods IMO are Borla X, Green drop in filter and Katech Throttle body.
Hard to tell from the video sound but can you comment further on the sound difference between the Corsa vs borla xpipe (with rest of exhaust stock)? Do they both "burble" the same amount?
Do you think the difference in power between the X pipes was where the actual merge/crossover points were in each system? Curious what your opinion on the optimum location for an X-pipe, some designs are closer to the engine, or in the middle of the vehicle possibly due to space constraints? Lastly, the design of the cross over and converging angles, what have you seen during testing from the above on NA and FI vehicles?
Bonanza Driver It depends who you talk to. With is being Direct injected you can run them in the high 12s and even touch 13. I personally would run it as rich as you can without costing power ( within reason of course) Typically installing a ‘cold air ‘ intake without a tune will lean them out and give some good gains for 2-3 dyno runs. The computer will soon pull timing and the factory torque management will also pull power.
First time that I saw a comparaison between a few x-pipes in one video. No stupid loud background music. By the way and I mean no disrespect, it is Akrapovic and not Akrovic. Well done! I used to have a C6 Z06 with Kooks long tube headers, high flow cats, Corsa x-pipes and sport exhaust. My engine light was always on. Did you have the same issue?
When you free up the exhaust flow will your afr get richer? When you tested the first xpipe it got richer from stock and when you tested the double x it got leaner from the x pipe or stock?
Just a 5.0 The factory ecu will constantly interfere without tuning. Once you start installing intakes and headers etc , The ecu will start pulling power and you’ll be back to stock power.
Hey there, do you think that your C7 midpipe could be made to work with a C6 Z06? I currently have a Texas Speed offroad midpipe. I'm in Georgia but could drive the car down on a weekend to have it put in. I'd also do a re-tune if you offer that. Let me know!
Hi-Po Video We no longer off the titanium mid section. I do have a complete Akrapavic full titanium with mid X pipe and carbon tips. Still in the box. PM me
I haven't but I'm it's not too far out. Most of my interest is road course, hence why I'm more concerned about lean AFs and anything that will cause heat soak.
If just attaching the axle back to the exhaust you built picked up 15 wheel horsepower without a tune, I would love to see what it could pick up with a tune.
John can you dm me cost on your titanium xpipe and a titanium axle back with carbon fiber tips. While nice, Akra is overpriced and I am sure you could make as good if not better than the Akra.

Sounds:
0:31 Stock
1:31 Borla
2:24 Corsa
3:27 Titanium
5:56 Titanium + Akropovic
you need to mass-produce that titanium X+Mid, its such an exotic piece
Where can you buy this
Is there a part number for the borla
Funny that Borla is now a GM Factory Option Code on the 2023. I run the Borla on my 2018 C7 Grand Sport, love it.
Your x pipe sounded the best by far with the stock cat back, even better once it was swapped. Y'all are just full of hidden talents aren't you.
It did sound good and made a tiny bit of power.
Wow! Your titanium exhaust sounded great. It had an exotic tone to it. Looks great as
well.
Nice job on this video. I just ordered the Borla for my Z06. Thank you.
XerSuperNational Bull Awesome, it’s the cheapest / best mod.
That cold start was amazing. You forgot to let us hear the car in between exhausts. It's pointless but fun to hear what any car sounds like with just a down pipe. Keep up the good work guys!
Down pipe?
Great comparison ! very helpful and assist for choice ! Thanks you !
Thank you for this video! I wish all videos were this informational and to the point. Great job!
Great video! Informative, fast paced, great camera quality and angles and to the point! Subscribed!

Thanks buddy. I'm not big on selling parts with promises of HP.
Thanks for doing these tests after looking on UA-cam for a long time trying to find test like this with X pipes because I'm still not sure what to put on my 2018 ZO6 but this helps thank you
Awesome. Glad it helped.
Akropovic for me-who cares about power gains when it sounds THAT good 💓. Looks great with the carbon fibre tips too 👍
350 bucks bolt on borla with stock exhaust? 22 hp 13 tq and 8lbs off curb. done.
You don’t need and X pipe. Straight exhaust
D S
The titanium is 8 lbs not the borla
You guys are awesome, thanks for making this.
This video was great, with no bias and straight up. Thanks for sharing
Love the sound of the Corsa. Only 5 less hp and sounds way better.
Thanks for all the work! Great info
Great work. Great vid. Pack with awesome info, that a lot of corvette owners are wondering about.
Yess titanium for Hondas too 😍
We did an S2000 with a 3" about a week ago. Stay tuned for the video
I know this is a older vid on the xpipe but i had a question how tight to make the round clamps where the xpipe meets the muffler pipe. I have the kooks header and xpipe and jis wanna know the torque to make a good seal. Thanks for this imformative vid on the c7 vette
Sound is what I'm looking for
Really great video, thank you...I have a 2016 Z06 and I am looking to add some "simple" HP. It is still under warrantee, not sure if this would mess with that.
Akra sounds great!
Thank you for this information and taking your time.
Seriously impressive power gain.
Didn't the titanium one have a bigger diameter? It doesn't make sense to me why it's weight would affect power, weight usually affects when the car is moving.
whenever I buy a c7z I am def gunna change out the xpipe!!!! sounds awesome
awesome vid. would love to hear and see the hp difference with long tubes as well!
You should do a test with the x pipes that are available now like kooks and awe and the other options
Sounds like the Borla with Akripovic mufflers and tips would be my choice
Excellent video!
The thing about changing the axle back is i think that mod is extremely expensive
I'd love to see the gains with a set of headers and a tune.
Solid video
I wonder what numbers a stingray would make with these three different x-pipes
The sound of the full titanium system (your X pipe with the Akrapovic dampers) is the best so far. Looks great too. Next up, LHT headers in titanium? :P
They would be very pricey, not sure it would be worth the $$$
Part number for the borla x pipe?
Hey when you were switching exhuasts did you tune or just leave base map?
thank you for this !
Although you didn't connect it to the system would the borla X pipe would have bolted up to the acropovitch no problem. Without modification
I think it is designed to connect to the factory system or bolt on axle back system.
Sweet! 8lbs!
Good info thanks
I have the Borla on mines, I like Akrapovic but those are money!! I may go with the Borla
ima get the Baller exhaust ! ballerrrrrrr !
Oh man wish you added a set of headers for it.
CHRISTOPHER ROGERS There’s very little gains without a tune.
I am 2 years late but how much for the Titainum x pipe that you built that provided over 20hp gain
Sweet numbers John. Worth the trouble .
LHT, great analysis. Thank you for taking the time and money to do this. Is this Z06 a "50 state legal" or a CA CARB Corvette? GM makes two. One of course for the state of CA. I'm gonna end up going with the Borla for sound and power. The Corsa is too raspy. Your exhaust is very nice but I'm sure I can't afford it ;).

VERY NICE!!!!!
Love your car, looking myself for a Z06 manual... they are hard to fine..
I have one. 2017 zo6 charcoal grey 7spd...9k miles. 75K
Any website where I can get the borla x pipe? I saw it was the one that brought out more power. Very interestein it for my zo6
Hard to tell from the video sound but can you comment further on the sound difference between the Corsa vs borla xpipe (with rest of exhaust stock)? Do they both "burble" the same amount?
Nice
so, the best for this car is titanium x plus akrapovic axle back?
Do you think the difference in power between the X pipes was where the actual merge/crossover points were in each system? Curious what your opinion on the optimum location for an X-pipe, some designs are closer to the engine, or in the middle of the vehicle possibly due to space constraints? Lastly, the design of the cross over and converging angles, what have you seen during testing from the above on NA and FI vehicles?
Great video. 💪🏾👍🏾
Titanium all the way, soundwise.
How lean is too lean for the lt4?. .....How lean would a CAI and something like the borla xpipe be on a stock tune?
Bonanza Driver It depends who you talk to. With is being Direct injected you can run them in the high 12s and even touch 13. I personally would run it as rich as you can without costing power ( within reason of course)
Typically installing a ‘cold air ‘ intake without a tune will lean them out and give some good gains for 2-3 dyno runs. The computer will soon pull timing and the factory torque management will also pull power.
LHT Ti headers? 😃
They would be very pricey, I couldn't see anyone want them
I prefer your titanium but how much is cost
Which was the best xpipe ?
done any dynos on ported throttle body?
Where can I order the Ti X?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH ANY MUSTANG GT'S?? FOR POWER AND SPEED..
Which xpipe was the borla 60548 or 47?
I don’t remember. The Z06 one is the larger diameter.
@@LHTPerformance are you still offering your titanium xpipe for sale? I’m in Jacksonville Florida.
@@AdrenalineJunkie25 message me on Instagram
@@LHTPerformancedo you sell X-Pipe and the customer has to write to you via DM? Businessman
@@NegativoZ06 eh, not sure what you’re asking.
Where may I buy the LHT x-pipe??
How much to get borla on 2014 vette
I don’t sell them. I Just bought one for the test.
First time that I saw a comparaison between a few x-pipes in one video. No stupid loud background music. By the way and I mean no disrespect, it is Akrapovic and not Akrovic. Well done! I used to have a C6 Z06 with Kooks long tube headers, high flow cats, Corsa x-pipes and sport exhaust. My engine light was always on. Did you have the same issue?
Claude Perrault I wouldn’t change to headers until you really need to. Leave the factory cats.
When you free up the exhaust flow will your afr get richer? When you tested the first xpipe it got richer from stock and when you tested the double x it got leaner from the x pipe or stock?
Just a 5.0 The factory ecu will constantly interfere without tuning. Once you start installing intakes and headers etc , The ecu will start pulling power and you’ll be back to stock power.
interested in buying the borla????
This video is 3 years old. It sold a day after. Sorry.
How do i contact you for pricing for the titanium x pipe and the carbon fiber tips?
I can't find contact info.
Hey there, do you think that your C7 midpipe could be made to work with a C6 Z06? I currently have a Texas Speed offroad midpipe. I'm in Georgia but could drive the car down on a weekend to have it put in.
I'd also do a re-tune if you offer that. Let me know!
We don't produce them. It would have to made for your car. I used to have a 2010 C6z before I ordered this 17.
what did you end up using?
What’s the cost on the axle back? What’s the cost for your titanium mid section? Great videos... 👍🏻👍🏻 Thanks!
Hi-Po Video We no longer off the titanium mid section. I do have a complete Akrapavic full titanium with mid X pipe and carbon tips. Still in the box. PM me
Geez - 600 odd Hp spins that dyno up quick.
Are any of the exhaust still for sale?
How much for the titanium you built?
I like more torque. How would you get that number up?
Add a Halltech CAI. It adds over 35 torque in the C7 ZO6
Do you guys sell that titanium x pipe and if so how much. Lol
How much?
What is a boler?
Luis Tamez Lolololol. I have an Accent...Isn’t the Weird. Lol.
how much for this pipe
We don’t have any to sell. Sorry.
We don’t have any to sell. Sorry
@@LHTPerformance is that something I can order?
What do you think numbers will look like on the Stingray or z51? Great video thanks!
Kyle Roach I haven’t actually done one to see. I would think you’ll see a little power and definitely more sound.
how much for the akrapovic?
Email us at LHTSales@aol.com

No LG?
PRIDE I didn’t have an LG.
I went with Borla
Was there a big improvement in sound?
Mark Grigoletto No just just wanted to get rid of the rear cats
Like to have seen borla and mufflers , either way x-pipe/mufflers no tuning and pick up 40hp ! Now add some headers ....lol
do you still have the borla x pipe?
Yolanda Castillo No, it was sold a couple of days after the video was uploaded.
did you use the factory axel back with the Borla and did it have a better / louder sound
Where are you guys located?
+30 hp and -15 lbs off curb weight???? Take my money!!!
It's closer to 30 lbs with the X and Axle back.
I WANT IT FOR MY Z06
That corvette sound is better than porn.
Have you build a 1/2 miles car? I'm trying to get my car to be in the 200 MPH club. Nice video!
I haven't but I'm it's not too far out. Most of my interest is road course, hence why I'm more concerned about lean AFs and anything that will cause heat soak.
If just attaching the axle back to the exhaust you built picked up 15 wheel horsepower without a tune, I would love to see what it could pick up with a tune.
wackomanx attach the axle to the exhaust wtf are you on about fuckwit just stfu you clueless muppet
wackomanx child
Gaz Girl
Hahaha! LMAO!
YOU CRACKED ME UP!
I understand what you are saying.
He said axle BACK. Learn how to read before you insult someone.
John can you dm me cost on your titanium xpipe and a titanium axle back with carbon fiber tips.
While nice, Akra is overpriced and I am sure you could make as good if not better than the Akra.
Wahhaj Ali Message me on Facebook if you get a chance.
Do you sell the titanium X pipes?
Akrovik? Johnny boy pronunciation is A-kra-po-vitch
lol I know :)
