Default H to X pipe

I've done a search, but can't find this info. If I want to replace the factory H pipe with an X pipe, what size do I need to get? 2-1/2? I see several different brands available, but will anyone of them fit? Thanks, Kevin

When I replaced my H pipe I bought an X pipe that was used for a Corsa. My exhaust was Borla.
I layed them up next to each other and they were pretty much the same.
I did have to go to a muffler shop and get the (X)aft pipes spread a little longer for the over the axle pipes to slide on another couple of inches.
Not a hard job at all.

If you are thinking of getting headers. I would wait till you get the headers and get their X-pipe w/ the cats in them. Otherwise the X-pipe you have will not fit with the new headers.

I got the Dynatech Supermaxx Headers from Tbyrne and it comes with the Xpipe. Always plan ahead though Corsa Touring will not work as exhaust would probably have to go with Borla or another brand. I love the headers though!!
