Default Which x pipe

I recently installed the Corsa Indy exhaust on my car, and I love the sound when accelerating and the resonance free cruise. However, I would like to eliminate/reduce the popping on deceleration and smooth the motorboat idle. Guess this means I need an x pipe. It took me about 6 months to make up my mind what exhaust system I wanted, so I need input from you guys as to your preference in x pipes and why, so I can make a quick decision and get it done. I'm familiar with the Bassani, Corsa and a couple others.

I have the Corsa Indy's and a Bassani X-Pipe. The two parts mated to each other without any problem, the popping noise was reduced, but not eliminated (Personally, I like a small amount of the popping noise). The quality of the Corsa exhaust and the Bassani X-Pipe are both excellent, and I am happy with the end result.
