Just wondering if anyone has tried to see if any of the vette cat back's fit in our cars? Or, axle back instead of cat back?
 
Corsa makes a cat back system for the XLR. Check their website.

Yah, I know. I put the Corsa system on my DTS. I was asking this question strictly out of curiosity just to see if anyone has done it.
 
When I was changing my "V" system over to the Corsa. I talked to a rep at Corsa about that. I was told,,,, The H pipe, and the over the axle pipes were the same, but the difference is the muffler ends. And when I thought about it it sounds right (?). Our XLR's have a longer "rear end" than the Vette's. If you use a Vette muffler, it won't stick out past the rear valence, and the muffler hangers may be different. When I changed my V over, I had to buy a stock XLR cat back system from Corsa. And then buy a Vette H-pipe. The back hangers on the H-pipe for the XLR are different than the H-pipe hangers on an V. Got kind'of carried away on the $'s this route.
 
Popbigguy is right - any c6 vette exhaust will work, but you will need the tips replaced with longer ones...

You also may not get the same sound since the C6 has a different motor than the XLR... so be aware of that.
