X-Pipe
Recently installed Borla Stingers on the M6 Coupe. Love the sound but
would like to ease the popping on decel. Should I go with the Borla X-Pipe or is there a better option? Anyone running Borla/x-pipe I would
appreciate your suggestions. Also I installed the exhaust myself and
would like DIY the X-Pipe.
Any tips on install?
Thanks in advance!

I'd recommend the Bassani X-pipe. Got it on my car and it did wonders for the resonance and popping my exhaust was making.

We recently had the Corsa "X" pipe and Pace car system w/ pro series tips installed, and we are not getting hardly any popping at all. At the NCMs C5,C6 Bash this year we also had a cold air induction system installed. What we are getting is a little back pressure build on deacceleration.

I've got the Stingers with LG longtubes and their x-pipe. Almost no popping on decelaration.
And it sounds VERY good.

Thanks for the feedback guys! I have the 4 tip version of the stingers to answer one of the questions. Just wondered about keeping Borla all the way but I do like the looks of the Bassani. May want to get header some day down the road.
