Default Which X-pipe?

What's a good X-pipe to run with my GHL Magnums? GHL, Bassanni? I don't have a top 5 list...

ANYTHING is better than the junky stock H-pipe!!!

I went with Magnaflow's X-pipe in front of my Stingers. Happy and no plans to change.

I'd stick with Magnaflow or Bassani, they're both true X-pipes. I went with the Magnaflow, excellent quality.

I went with GHLs own, but I don't suspect there are any compatibility problems with any of them.

I went to the Magnaflow web-site and can't find any X-pipes. Can ya'll give me the page link that it's on?

edit to my above post I see on the lapd site that corsa does make an x pipe.. well if you have corsa pace car exhaust would the corsa x pipe be the best to go with it.. also if i added an x pipe to the corsa exhaust would it make it louder? If so in what ways? Thanks

I run the Bassani X-pipe. No complaints about it from me. It really helped on the popping and resonance in my car.

I have a Magnaflow enclosed X-pipe. It is not listed on their website you have to call for info on it. Looks just like a muffler and inside is a perforated X. Works well and the gurgle on deceleration is now enjoyable.

Randon-tech, 'x' and hi-flow cats in a single mid-section exhaust with slip fittings. Simply the best IMO.

I have GHL Magnums and I went with the Magnoflow X pipe. It makes a great combo. No popping when you let off the gas. I have a neighbor who has GHL Magnums without an X pipe and there is a good amount of popping without the X pipe. Some folks like the popping but I do not. The GHLs are a good sound in my opinion.
