I have decided to go with the borla axle back exhaust. Now im not too sure whether to go with n "x" pipe or an "h" pipe. Is there any performance or sound difference between the two? I have also looked into the Kooks headers which come with the high flow catted x pipe. If I go with an off road uncatted x or h pipe, my car will not pass emission testing will it?

So, which would be my better choice, I am going to need to beable to pass emissions testing(Canada)? I want a good sound but nothing too obnoxious. Will the kooks headers along with the catted x, with the corsa's be really loud? Just want everybodys experience with this type of setup.

Thanks A Lot, sorry for soo many Q's, just want to make sure I get what I am looking for

the x will be more of a raspy sound but the h will have a much deeper tone

Go with the kooks headers and their X pipe. Yours cars like to rev high and X pipe is known for giving more horses up top. And to pass emission test you gotta have a cats.
