Default Corsa Install Help

I am getting my Corsa Indy's with the X Pipe installed this week and what should I pay to get the system installed. And with all the post I see with this motorboat sound is this a major noise issue with this system plus I am sure there is something on any system we would like to see better or improve but I get more confused the more I read about the systems and want to be happy which I am sure I will be. Thanks.

I'm using the FLP headers and X pipe along with Corsa catback system. The system is very loud with the cats off. With the cats on it sounds great, but I've been told you gain close to 10 HP with the cats off. It just depends on if you like the car to sound like a NASCAR or not.

Had my MagnaFlows with x-pipe put on for $160. Installation of the x-pipe requires cutting the stock h-pipe off so the cost is a bit higher than just a catback without x-pipe.

I paid Midas $100 to install a Bassani X-pipe and then did the Corsa Indy install myself. The motorboat sound is a non-issue with the X-pipe.

Went to a local shop today and told me $80 to do and said they do all kind of mufflers install as that is all they do. I guess this is not to hard of an install.
