Default exhaust conversion help

I have the money now I just need to make sure will any X pipe or H pipe work. So ones that are designed for the GT work with the V6? I'm pretty sure yes but I need a definite answer. Such as can I buy a FRPP GT X pipe.
Thanks again!

The V6 X pipe has 2.25" inlet and 2.5" outlet to
match the 2.25" V6 Y pipe diameter where you make
the cuts for the X pipe joints. GT X or
H pipes are 2.5" both inlet and outlet. So, if you
use a GT X or H you'll have a gap/leak. Most popular
V6 X pipe is Pypes XFM-44. Band clamps will work
for the Pypes V6 X. Most people choose to weld the
GT X or H pipes to the V6 Y cutoff because of the
gap from different pipe diameters. Hope this helps.

okay thanks that really helps but that raises another question. I can reuse the passenger side mid pipe correct? It is the right size 2.5?

Yes, both the V6 midpipe and the GT's are 2.5. You should be able to get
by with a driver's side Dynomax midpipe ($38 at Rock auto) and reuse your
V6 passenger side.
If you prefer stainless, Pypes also sells either side or both.
