Default X Pipe Dilemma

I have a Corsa pacecar exhaust system without the x pipe. I have an oppurtunity to buy a used corsa or a used Bassani. Is their any advantage or disadvantage either way. I need to make a decision soon so if someone has some insight into this it would really be appreciated. Thanks.

I have the Bassani X-pipe and like it, but I'm sure the Corsa is good too. For me, it would come down to which one is the cheapest since they both do the same thing.

I ran the Corsa X-pipe with my Pace Cars. I just wanted to stay with the same manufacturer. I say stay with the same manufacturer. Dynatech provided an X-pipe with the headers so that's what I'm running now.

Thanks for the advice guys. I will probably stick with Corsa all else being equal.

Doesn't really matter, none of these make a big difference anyway.
