X-Pipe question
I have Corsa Pace Car system on my 2002. The motoboat sound @ idle
and popping on de-celleration are not acceptable. Any experience or advice
on Corsa or Basanni X-Pipe & will either correct the above? :(

Re: X-Pipe question (vettenut)
With my PRTs, the Magnaflow x-pipe made it "growl" a little more low in the RPM range rather than the "motorboat" sound and it took most of the popping out of deceleration. All in all, I am very happy with it. Check out this thread for some more information:

The Magnaflow is a better choice than the Corsa or Bassani in my opinion and from my research here on the forum. I would recommend buying it from the LAPD if you decide to pull the trigger (GREAT prices, GREAT service):

Good luck! :cheers:

Re: X-Pipe question (vettenut)
No "real" experience, but any "X" pipe should cut it out for the most part... Well, at least that is the concensus here on the Forum, as I have read over the years.......
The best bet if you are realy unhappy is to loose the Corsa system.
Some people love it, some people don't.... Individual taste will prevail...

Re: X-Pipe question (vettenut)
I have the Indys on my 01 six speed: Both will be reduced but not eliminated. I wish the popping were eliminated but I got used to it because I enjoy the other benefits of the Corsa +Xpipe system. :cheers:

Re: X-Pipe question (vettenut)
I had welded in the X-pipe from CF vendor "Exit 28" Motorsport. Only other mod to stock system is A & A exhaust mod.
These two minor changes( total expense about $215) really improved the sound of the exhaust. I do not think that they effected much performance difference. :cool:
