I have the Corsa and like the sound. But I dispute there's a 1/10th to be had either direction with either of them... Can I prove that? Nope.

NO! Go Borla X-PIPE (cheaper) "adds" HP over "stock" (approx. 10+).
The Corsa X-PIPE loses torque/et & mph compaired to the "stock" X-PIPE; which I know from my own personal experience, so I sold the Corsa and got back my better "stock" et & mph of the factory catted X-pipe.
You got to ask yourself, do I want to spend money to make my car slooower than stock! and the Corsa X-pipe also weighs much more than the Borla which will reduce your cars weigh to boot.
Do a search.
PS: That's a beautiful car you got there, chrome wheels really make it POP!!!

If you're only going with an X-pipe and not a full axle-back system, go with the Borla X-pipe as it also matches the OEM fittings and pipe diameter. The Corsa X-pipe does not.If you want a full axle-back system, then Corsa X-treme with X-pipe would be a great solution.

When I did VBox tests for before and after Borla X-Pipe, the acceleration gain was marginal. Maybe .05 seconds faster in that speed range. Maybe it can equate to a tenth of a second in the 1/4 mile. Ultimately, the conclusion I came to was that it didn't lose power and it sounds great. I didn't test the Corsa so I can't vouch for that side.
