x pipe question.
If I purchase a Corsa sport kit, will any aftermarket x pipe work or does it have to be Corsa as well.
Thanks.
p.s. I'm in the market for a nice used sport or Xtreme kit.

Depends what year you have. X pipe OEM on my 2009 coupe, so didnt need it when Corsa(sport) was put on.

Seems like pipes are pipes and if you have a 3" exhaust and order 3" exhaust component (x-pipe) they will fit together no matter the brand. Consumer experience teaches us to be on the look out for brand specific connections. I just bought a Borla ATAK system and the ends of the pipes do not look like anything is keyed to only fit a Borla X-pipe.
I'm going to bet without knowing the answer for sure, that any x-pipe will fit.

AS LONG AS IT'S THE RIGHT SIZE THEY ARE ALL THE SAME!Check your c6 though,it may already have one.I thought GM switched to X PIPES in the c6...they make no difference in the long run anyway,just some burble reduction if you care about that stuff.

I've heard it called an H pipe here on the forum that is installed on the C6

I'm going to crawl under the car today and see what I've got. The only purpose of me wanting an x pipe is to decrease the burble/pop that aftermarket exhaust creates. Thanks for the feedback.
