Default Which X-pipe?

Okay, I'm getting the Corsa Indy's (killer deal @ WCC) and I want to get the X-pipe as well. My question is which one do I get the Corsa or the Magnaflow?? The Magnaflow seems to have a better, larger X then the Corsa, does that make a difference? Please explain the difference. Will the Magnaflow bolt up to the Corsa Indy's without any problems. Your advice/help is appreciated. Thanks

it all depends on what you want to do.
my mod time table is running something like this.
indy pace car cat back and Dynatech headers with highflow cats and X-pipe.

if you are sure you don't want to put headers on i would get a corsa x-pipe. the headers add a lot to the HP but don't affect idle or cruse noise much. step on it and the car makes noise and a lot more power.

The magnaflow x has more cross sectional area, but as x pipes go the difference in flow is probably negligible. I bought the corsa x to go with my indy's because it is designed for better fitment. Either one will smooth out exhaust flow and nearly eliminate decel pop. As far as headers go there are lots of long tubes by themselves so you could do that later if you wanted to.
