Chris,

I have a beautiful 3" X-pipe too. I appreciate your offer do you believe the corsa 2.5 flows that much more than the restrictive factory 2.75?



They say it does as a whole but I don't know. I bought an L98 Corsa system and just used the mufflers and rear pipes. That was all I needed and it saved a bunch of money.
My front pipes came with my SW headers and I've been using a Magnaflow center muffler with an integral X-pipe. But I sold the SWs, R/T cats and connector pipes and will be reinstalling my DRM headers and Power Effects system again. It's 2.75" like the factory system but it's mandrel bent. I'll be keeping the Corsa mufflers and may still attach them to the rear of the PE system for street use. Even on the quietest setting, the PE mufflers resonate a little at certain RPMs. Not too bad, but a little.
I couldn't remember if you had an LTx or an L98 car. Since you've got an LTx car, you're not giving up so much as it currently is, but it could still be improved upon of course. Put that X-pipe in place of the resonator and I guaran-damn-tee you a SOTP difference in torque and response. It'll sound real good too, without being overbearing. If you want more yet, you can always install some less restrictive mufflers later on. But try this first and see how you like it. Having an LTx system to start with, you don't need to waste time and money piecing things together from what I've got.
