Some claim more HP with the X-Pipe, Bassani has a good one, where
it helps a lot is the gurgal and poping sound when you let of the gas. :cheers:

I'm planning on getting Borla's installed at Ecklers in April. Do I need the X pipe ?

Dad just got the Borla Twin Tip stingers installed with no x-pipe. They sound awesome. Very little popping on deceleration (we were both kinda sad about that but oh well). They produce no noise in the car while cruising. I don't think you need the x-pipe.

Need.. No.. Should you get one? YES.. At least IMHO. I find my car much more enjoyable to drive with the addition of the X-Pipe.

Re: Do I need an X Pipe? (TowerMan)
There are two systems that do not need an X-pipe. One is the Z06 Ti's and the other is Magnaflow. While it does stop the rat-a-tat-tat on deceleration, it turns the volume down. The system that needs it most is Corsa. As for HP gain, don't expect anything and you won't be disappointed.

Re: Do I need an X Pipe? (CAPN17)
The xpipe will also eliminate the motorboat sounding idle on the corsa indy's. I still have some popping on decelleration after the xpipe on my borlas but I love it.
