Smooths out the sound and reduces popping on the overrun.

The X-pipe will soften the "popping" on deceleration. If you do decide to make the change, consider adding an aftermarket tunnel plate (Elite Engineering) which will be easy to install once you have the H-pipe out. My experience in my '05 Vert is that the plate made a noticible difference in chassis stiffness & with the heat reflective coating, reduced heat coming up thru the tunnel into the passenger compartment.

When you decide to get headers a lot of the kits include a x-pipe.

the x pipe will also have a tendency to give you a little more exotic sound.

Added the Elite Engineering tunnel plate + Corsa X-Pipe to my Extremes. Really toned down the "popping" on deceleration. No "Carb Legal" long tubes in the Wonderful State Of California so I did not add these which come with most of the models I looked at.
Enjoy!
