Default x-pipe recommendation

I am putting the Stainless Works headers and a GHl exhaust on my car. I figure I might as well put an x=pipe on so the whole exhaust is stainless and it can all be polished. Anyone recommend a good stainless x-pipe that will work well with the GHL?

Thanks,
Scott

I am using the Magnaflow X-pipe with the GHL exhaust system and I am very satisfied with the results.Installation was a snap and the tone is liveable.Not too loud,not too low. A happy medium. :chevy :chevy :flag :flag :chevy :chevy

I have the GHL system and am very pleased. I am running H/C and ATI and all else being equal I got apprx 18RWHP and similar torgue from this exhaust system over the corsa. I installed a Breathless off-road xpipe with my H/C package and got nearly 20rwhp and similar torque. The key here is off-road with the o2 sensors.

I love the Magnaflow. If you go to their web site, you can get the core for about $100. Hope this helps. http://www.magnaflow.com/03hardware.htm #10791 is the core Magnaflow uses in their $275 setup.

I have the MagnaFlow with GHL's. Very strong. Not too loud, but a long ways from stock.
