X-pipe?
hey all i have a question now i have the corsa pace car cat backs and i was just wondering your guys opinions on an x-pipe?
will it make the car louder sound better? i've read that you lose a few horse power is this true?

I have the Corsa Pace Car cat-back with a WCC X-pipe. It will not eliminate the popping and it made the exhaust quieter than it was before the X-pipe was installed.
I don't see how it would decrease horsepower since it helps the engine "breathe" better. What minimal gain (or loss) in horsepower that may be associated with an X-pipe could only be proven on a dyno. You will not feel any SOTP difference.

If you have resonance and popping, the X-pipe should help. Sure did with mine. Should not lose any HP with an install.
