Default Corsa Cat back to Borla X-Pipe ?Question?

My buddy just bought a C5 with a Corsa Cat back. Does anyone know if the Borla X-Pipe will bolt up to the Corsa exhaust?

Thanks

It's not for me it's for my buddy; he wants the Borla X-Pipe to cut down on the popping from deceleration. So would it bolt up?

If the pipe has a hole in it, should bolt right up in place of the h pipe

The popping will be reduced but so will the wot scream.

If It is the standard H pipe replacement size X pipe (Not a custom size like a 3") Yes it should fit. The rear 2 bolt flanges at the rear (for the over axle) pipe are standard size.

OK yes i am digging up an old thread. Like others have said have you searched... So I searched and this is what I have found.
I have Corsa axle back exhaust hooked up to factory H. I want to go X pipe. But not sure if:
1. Will Borla's X pipe will work with Corsa Xtreme? From what I can tell it should but looking for confirmation.
2. If it will work any positives or negatives with that setup?

Main reason I am asking is to see if the Corsa is worth the $100+ more in cost for the X pipe compared to Borla?
Thanks all for your help.

Just to update for anyone elses benefit. I did buy the Borla X pipe and it fit just fine with the Corsa axle back exhaust. Sounds awesome 😄 and took the popping noise away. It gurgles some where before it was more popping. Which is fine. At cruise speed not too noisy at all. And when you excelerate it has a good sound. Very happy with the results.
