Default difference between x-pipes

Is their any difference in getting a 80 dollar x-pipe from summit or geting a 35 dollar one when their the same width pipe. Here are the PN of the two I am talking about BIG-53620FLT and MPE-10791.

Thanks, Mike

The biggest difference would seem to be stainless steel versus aluminized steel.

Since you live up north, I would lean towards the stainless steel...

I wonder even more about the difference between the $80 and the $200+ ones. I'm killing two birds with one stone by installing a dual in/out Magnaflow muffler (as a resonator) with an internal X pipe. The Corsa mufflers sound great but need to be toned down a bit. BTW, this Magnaflow muffler is stainless steel and I got it for $95 shipped off of Ebay. It's a nice piece.

Ya know, two elbows welded together should cost about $25. There's way too much hype about x-pipes in my opinion. I'm considering a dual in/dual out single muffler myself (same cost as an x-pipe, imagine that!!!).
