Chris, what do I have to watch for as far as mate-up issues with the Pace Cars and x-pipe?

The build quality is unbelievable and they are really light

2000 m6 coupe. Only mod is a Halltech Stinger. I'm looking at exhaust as well, and I'm set on Corsa Pace Car. X-pipe while I'm at it.

Here's the question(s), then: Best long-tube header? Probably looking at keeping the cats. What will mate up the best with the Corsas? Best bang for the buck? Don't know that I have the wherewithall to do a self-install, so I'm gonna have to take it all somewhere.

TIA
TPIS designed to fit to factory header back pipes...... my choice, however, non-cat please!!

Tim, you have heard my car I have the Dnyatech system with Hi-flo cats going to their x-pipe and Borla stingers. I did the install myself sure felt like a nice gain. Its worth it just for the sound alone. If you forgot what it sounds like when the snow is gone I will take you for a ride

I agree - these seem to be the top four that are mentioned here. Only ones I have seen actually installed on a car are the Dynatechs and they were very good in terms of fit, finish and ease of installation.
