Default need X-Pipe advice please

Hi all,

I am looking to install an X-pipe.
I have installed the SLP loudmouth exhaust.
I was wondering if you had any recomendations and why.
I was considering either the Corsa, Bassani, or Magnaflow.
Anyone have experience with any of these paired with the Loudmouth?
Anyone have thoughts about which one I should go with?
Any thoughts on installation? Should it be welded?
Thanks in advance.

I have the Basanni but was not too happy with it. The connections didn't work well and due to the facing on the ends, it lowered my exhaust tips. For what I paid, if I had to do it again, I'd get a different one and probably a cheaper one. I don't think it gives much in terms of performance...just sound.

I have the Corsa x-pipe. Perfect finish and fit, amazing! Was a piece of cake to mount, good instruction paper.
Cannot help with the loudmouth as I have the Stingers
