Default 2016 z06 X-pipe question AWE or ARH

I recently purchased a set of ARH and they come with a x-pipe. I also have a AWE x-pipe and my question is should i use the one that comes with he headers or put the AWE ones on? Do one sound better than the other. I had the AWE ones on my Grand sport before I got rid of it and it sounded really good with everything else stock. Just wondering what direction would you guys take. Or would there be a sound difference at all between the 2. Thanks in advance.

Pretty sure you will have to use the ARH X pipe that comes with the headers. The AWE X pipe is designed to mate up to the factory manifolds.

sounds like they are long tube ones so u must use the xpipe that came with the ARH, its a set/pair.
if they are the shorty/mid length ones then you in theory could use either one, but they dont seem to make an xpipe for that set so i would assume its the long tubes u got.
and you should be able to sell that awe xpipe for some nice coin.

I just did the same but with kooks. Have my awe xpipe sitting in the garage. Sell it when you install the ARH. They are rare and go for a premium now. You should get $600+ with ease. I haven't listed mine cause I'm hooking up a buddy instead.

I'd rather have my car make and "ARH" sound, than an AWEeee sound.
