Default x pipe helf

The Corsa factory rep tells me that an x pipe will get rid of the gurgle at idle with Corsa touring exhaust. Has anyone had any experience with that before I buy. Best place to buy pricewise??

That is a fact. The X-pipe WILL get rid of that horrible gurgle that is characteristic of any Corsa catback Exhaust

Yep,,got to experience it first hand. Several years ago rode about 100mi. in my buddies 01 A4 to Fun Fest. Corsa touring,,stock H. Even had a hint of drone at certain speeds. Had their H installed up there and a noticeable difference on the ride home,,and the idle sounded smoother. Only down side,,in a stick you loose some of the low speed decel rumble-pop,,which I happen to like!!
