Default X-Pipe question

I am looking to add a X-pipe to my NXT exhaust system.
I have seen Borla,Corsa,bassini Ect..... go for over $300.00.

My question is has anyone tried a less expensive one like they sell on the auction site?

They look the same and all look like they are 2.5" and stainless steel.

Let me know if you have used a XS Power or ARK-X X-pipe or similar pipe.
Thanks a bunch

I've had a X-Pipe on both of my C5's and I bought them both in C5 parts and paid less than $200.00 both times. Both were name brand pipes too.

Most people upgrade the stock H-pipe when adding headers to an after market x-pipe...allows for a free-flowing exhaust. The stock cat-back can also be replaced, but ultimately yields no performance, although some do produce a killer sound
