Default X-pipe versus headers

If the X-pipe quiets things down and the headers make things louder, by installing both what change can I expect?


(What about also adding Corsa Sports?)

Sweetness! I have the Corsa Sports and the DynaTech SuperMAXX headers on my C6. Love it. Wakes the car up and the sound is super.

Do it!!

Headers are a problem legally in Calif. with respect to smog inspection, so I went with Corsa Sport and X pipe. Very satisfied.

Anyone install an X-pipe and headers at different times? I'm wondering if one will offset the change the other produces...

I installed the Corsa X-pipe about four months after installing the Corsa Sports. No change in sound, except thge decel burble is cut in half. Mid-range torque seems to be improved. Was going to go with headers but the car will not pass visual or testing emmissions. Even though emmissions testing would not be an issue for five years, everything would have to come off at that time. I don't race it so it is not worth it to me.
