Default Borla Crossover X Pipe

Currently on my 2002 I have a Borla Stinger Exhuast system installed and was wondering if any one could tell me what the benefits of adding a Crossover X Pipe. Will there be any performace increase? I am aware that it will take away the burble and popping on deceleration but is that it? Thanks in advance for any advice!

You won't get any measurable HP increase.

I just put one on to stop my rattling H-pipe, no apparent increase in HP at the track, but it sounds a heck of a lot better<GR>. Jeff

but no HP increase. Some people say it helps stop the popping noise on decelleration, but that is

I've got two tip stingers with a Bassani x-pipe and I don't have much resonance but I've never had the Stingers without the Bassani. I also have LT's

I'm very happy with the set up.
