Default Should I Corsa Xpipe?

Just received my Corsa Pace Car exhaust from Exit 28. Should we put on the xpipe while we have the car in the air? Or will we be happy with out it? We did not order it but think maybe we should have.
Any comments appreciated! :cheers:

I would put both the X-pipe and Corsa exhaust system on at the same time. I added a Bassani X-Pipe to my Corsa system, and was really pleased with the overall sound of the completed system. I have not heard what a Corsa x-pipe sounds like with any system. Some of the other forum members will be able to comment on the sound.

I agree with him-- It would be a lot easier to knock it out all at once...ESPECIALLY if you're putting in headers too... still, I'd go for both at once to save time and money.
I love the sound of mine, but I also did headers at the same time, so I can't comment on the X-pipe alone. I remember many people saying that it helped eliminate the popping sounds and even out the tone, but that's from memory, so in that regard, wait to hear from others who have added the pipe alone to give a first hand opinion.
In a word--I say YES-- add the pipe--you will not be disappointed :cheers:

I too have the Bassani and LOVE the sound. I also have LT headers which made a significant change in the sound of the car. It has a nice growl and screams at WOT! :D
