Header kits will come with their own x pipe.

I installed B&B because they bolt up to your cat back. The others require you to get another X pipe or cut up the one you have.

you can order kooks headers and connection cats part # 6115-CC made to fit the corsa catback. This is what i did with my bassani catback, and i only had to cut a very small portion of the x pipe. I chose to weld it, but u can use clamps as well. This is also a bit cheaper than buying a full new x-pipe.

mountian ride,

Our long tube headers will bolt directly to your B&B x-pipe. The only issue you will have would be the elimination of your cats. If you want to send me your x-pipe back I could install cats in it for the cost of the cats only or I could exchance your x-pipe with a take off. Feel free to get in touch with me if you have any additional questions.

The service from B&B is unbelievable. I emailed them with questions when I did my header install on a Sunday and got a response back that day from Mark.

You may want to upgrade your tunnel plate at the same time since all the parts will be removed.
