Figure a net gain of around 2 hp by adding an x-pipe. I have found my car more enjoyable to drive after having added a Magnaflow x-pipe ($200) as it curtails the popping noise on deceleration.

I did it with my Corsa/GTR setup and got rid of the popping somewhat, but also lost the unique Corsa exotic sound. Kinda a tradeoff .....
