Need advice about X pipe
Hello everyone,
I will try to keep this short, My C6 currently has stock x-pipe with no cats, and straight pipes at the end. A friend of mine is selling his car so theres now a chance that I can get his Corsa Double X quite cheap
My question here is does it worth it and how it will change the characteristics of my exhaust note. I know it wont effect much in the terms of performance. I looked all over youtube but couldnt find a decent video of a c6 with double x pipe. Actually i would love to hear my idle a little bit more high pitched.
Heres two vids that showing how my current setup sounds
Idle:
Revs:
Thank you for your time, all comments will be appriciated
And happy new year

Your question isn't clear to me. Are you getting just the Corsa double X or are Corsa mufflers included?
Anyway, this is the only mention I could find of a double X post, no sound though:

IMHO,
It's to much work for zero gain. Are u even sure that the mid pipes are even the same size?.
The same length, the fronts meet at the proper place?

The inside diameter of the factory H pipe is actually quite smaller than the outside diameter would lead you to believe. I had a Corsa X pipe installed at Bloomington Gold one year and Corsa had a factory H pipe cut in half for display purposes.
Having said that, with you cats and mufflers already gone there would be no noticeable difference in sound.
