I have a Corse style X (merge pipe). It seems fine;

Thanx...

Here's the X Pipe's contribution to knocking out the motorboat gurgle;

That was an early version. The new version is in the works now, one of our beloved supporting vendors will be doing the test fittment...

Ok here goes...I am going to replace my stock exhaust with the Corsa touring and tigershark tips I am not sure about the Xpipe, If I understand correctly it will get rid of the "gurgle" on deceleration?:confused:

It would be more accurate to say that it will lessen it. I still get it, any system will but the "motorboat gurgle" is practically gone. I get more of a popping now then anything...

Yep High Flows... from Performance curve, like $55 a piece;

I'm a fan of the Corsas too, fairly quite until you open it up... then they scream! Too **** much money though!!!!!

I have an 09 with the dual mode exhaust. I want to keep the dual mode. Do you know whether or not the Corsa X-pipe is a good fit with the stock system

I don't have any direct experience with the Corsa C6 X but it's supposed to bolt right up.

If you can wait a bit you'll be able to buy a complete Header System w/ X Pipe cheaper then you'd imagine...

I spoke with a Corsa rep at the Ecklers car show here in Florida last year and that is what he suggested.

:iagree: And NO drone or resonnance either! That's what I have in that sound clip I posted.
