So, there wouldn't be any practical (if any) increase in performance by swapping straight pipes for the Corsa resonator section.
As for the X pipe, specific HP improvements in performance depends on what else comprises the exhaust system, e.g., w/ or w/o headers, mufflers used, etc. But, specific quantities aside, the improvements experienced by many before and after users is "all good": up to 25 rwhp is commonly claimed. (YMMV). I have one (from Stainless Works). My fully ported (except for throttle body) motor with LT (SW) headers, 3" exhausts and somewhat restrictive mufflers makes 432 rwhp (before last improvements). How much is due to the X-pipe? I dunno. But, it's part of the package, and I "think" it helps...so it does!  |
Paul,
B & B has the Helmholtz chambers in the mufflers.
Wouldn't having them in either place address the resonance?
Does Corsa have them in both the mufflers and the resonator?
If one does the job why have more?
25 added HP from the x pipe is astounding!
That rivals many an internal mod.
I guess I will finally install my other B&B Fusion system with the x-pipe that have been sitting on the boxes since 2014.
