Very little difference from one x pipe to another from what I've seen. X pipes are good for reducing the popping noise on deceleration, but, that's about it.

LGM 3" Pro Race X-pipe. While you're ordering that, might as well get the rest of the LGM C5 Race LT header kit!! Very bad *** results.

If you're talking about replacing the entire center section of your system check out Random-tech, it's a true x with intergrated hi-flow cats.

Several OEM's have evualated H-pipes and horspower. They found that the closer the H-pipe to the cats the more HP they made. Max gain on an 02 Z06 was 4 rwhp. I would assume the same is true with the x-pipe.

Since you have a Corsa system I'd get the Corsa X-Pipe because it was designed for your system!

Most will say the one they have is the best, but, as pointed out in the above thread(s) a pipe is a pipe, is a pipe. Good luck w/ your selection.
