Default Corsa or Borla X Pipe

Any thoughts on if I should get a Corsa or Borla X pipe when I buy the Corsa Indy system? Which one is better and if you think the Borla is, will they work together without major mods?

Buying all the mods I want is going to put me in the poor house. That's OK since my wife is going to do it anyway by purchasing things for our 1st grandchild due any day.

I got a Corsa System so I got a Corsa X-Pipe! Call me crazy but I figured the X-Pipe made for the system would be better!

Corsa Indy with a corsa X-pipe for me too. I really doubt if there's much difference between the various brands - if there is, I'm sure someone with knowledge of the difference will be quick to point them out.

I agree with Jim - why not buy the matched set?

Sounds great. My entire life centered around sports (I'm now over 60) and the only thing I did with cars was drive them so excuse this question. What exactly (parts) should I ask for when I get the x pipe and corsa Indy system and where is the best place to get it from? I have gotten all kind of prices from the Internet. Would someone care to recommend someone.

Finally, this forum is the greatest. I have learned so much and all the advice I have gotten has been right on the money. Thanks everyone!!!!!!!!

If you have a little patience..(I donot) you can wait for a Group Purchase in the C5 parts for sale section, or post and ask if anyone is interested in doing a GP. one of the supporting vendors will normally pipe up (LAPD is my favorite) and if you get about 10 folks who want to get Corsa stuff, then you will normally get a price lower than on the websites. I used LAPD for my Borla and sway bars. Those guys are great.

Hope this helps a bit, and have fun vettein'!

CRcom67-- Thanks but like you I don't have the patience. I'll just keep looking for a good price, get tired on looking and buy the system.

Better flow and smooths out the exhaust tone to get rid of the "Motor boat" idle sound.

Just put the Borla in mine to match my Stinger, 223.95 shipped from PFYC.com. YMMV. Jeff
