Bassani is fine! I used the Corsa X and it's also fine! Both are good!

The Magnaflow x-pipe has worked great for me on 3 different Vettes, and they are much cheaper. Simple weld in place of the h-pipe. :cheers:

Does the corsa X-pipe bolt on in place or does it require welding as well? :confused:

All brands that don't replace the cats require cutting after the cats and clamps or welds. Corsa comes with clamps. You might want to listen to a car with an X-pipe before you make the change: it will change the sound of your car. Some people like it better, some do not (the car will sound quieter, will fix the jingle, will smooth out the sound, will reduce popping, but may add a "howling" type resonance). Also see the thread on w w w dot zee oh six vette dot com on the "jingle" for more info.
