Default Which X-Pipe to buy?

I have a 02 vert w/Borla Stingers...I was wondering, what X-pipe to buy for this cat-back system. I would like to hear from the forum. :skep:

For what its worth....after searching the forum myself I decided on the magnaflow. It seems to have a true "x" design...i.e. its not just two pipes welded side by side with a small opening between the two.

Magnaflow, if you go to a dealer you can get their short weld in x-pipe rather than the long bolt in type: cheaper and use your stock pipes. This is what i've heard. Also, there is currently a GP for Magnaflow systems. Do a thread search as magna's give the best HP for your c-5.

FYI: I had the Bassani with my Corsa and stock exhaust manifold. Also a true X design, great performance. Don't know enough about the others to compare. Good luck!

I went with the Magnaflow also. Sounds absolutely WicKed with FLP's headers. My best friend is going to go with the Bassani. They have a nice large x-chamber, so I would say either one of those.

Best of luck!
