I'm just looking for the least expensive one as they all look the same and do the same thing pretty much. The only one that looks different is the Magnaflow, which looks a little more restrictive in my opinion. Let us know what you find! Good luck.

I went with ghl's. They were polished and the price was unbeatable!

there is a bit of difference, they all make your exhaust more quiet.

I have a corsa x pipe, i believe the basani that looks like it hase a box at the x meet point may flow a bit more than some of the others.

Id say dont use one unless you have excessive popping or you will be taking away from the natural sound that was meant from your exhaust change.

It may just be me but if I were buying Borlas I'd get a Borla X-Pipe! Just my .02!

They are different in size. For example the Corsa's have different length pipes on the input where others are equal. The SLP resonator x-pipe is longer and uses larger diameter pipe. If you don't have long tube headers and you'll be installing them in the future then choose an x-pipe that the header system will fit or is sold by them.
