Default Corsa Xtreme Adding x-pipe

Newby here. Just had Corsa Extreme installed on my C7 Z51 Manual. thinking about the corsa x-pipe. Do the factory cats stay intact ? Pro's and cons? Also want Cold Air intake. Ordered the Jegs name brand. My Corvette mechanic couldn't get a good seal so the Check Engine light was on. Put factory back on. Any recommendations on that?

THanks in advance

There are two sets of cats. The rear will come off with the factory X-pipe. I have the Corsa Sport and Corsa X-Pipe, and the X-Pipe adds significant volume and a bit more aggression to the tone. Sounds amazing and there are no downsides for me. Can't speak for the other issue you broached.

Get the x-pipe sounds great. I have the Corsa on mine. They do delete the secondary cats though. (primary cats on the headers)

Intake, get the AFE or Halltech one.

We have them for a great price as well.

For the cold air intake look at the VARARAM set up in here vendor also is name is Cajun on here as Edgyvette. Look in the vendor section for him give him a message.

Plus this cold air intake is the best price plus will get you the best hp #. Great cold air set up for the c5 & c6 also...

I've read where adding the Corsa x pipe loses lots of horsepower and of torque. The best one would be the borla x pipe.

There's a few YouTube videos concerning the Corsa x pipe showing that they lost power and they taking it off and put their stock pipes back on.
