Default Looking at Headers

I already have a Magnaflow Xpipe and cat back system I would like to buy something that would work with the pieces already installed, instead of replacing pieces already on the car. please let me know what you have used. thanks for your help.........

I bought the Corsa Touring catbacks with the X-pipe last year. I just recently purchased the American Racing LT Headers. That system also comes with a X-pipe. You just have to inquiry when you purchase. AR headers have the X-pipe upstream of the integrated cats. I am gving the extra Corsa X-pipe to a friend of mine. HTH

you'll find someone to buy the x for 100-200

I agree, all the headers are now coming with X-Pipes in their system. You can just remove and sell your current X-Pipe.

Can you run Two x-pipes? Is there a downside? Seems like it would really smooth out the exhaust note even more.
