Here is the photo of the X pipe :

Thanks..

I'm currently running a cam, Long Tubes with no Cats and the GM off-road exhaust. They didnt run any test on mine other than the visual check of the instruments. I had a Game Warden who was just hanging out having his morning coffee asking me what all was done to make it sound like that. Nobody mentioned anything about an "emissions" test. Payed my little fee for the inspection and off I went.

If you're talking axleback, again, it's in different location and doesn't prohibit you from running any axleback.

OP has a Borla x-pipe which may or may not bolt up to th Corsa muffler. The Borla replaces everything from the cats to the muffler. Worse case he has to bend it to make it mate up with the Corsa.

hmm.. .strange. I guess i'm gonna give it a try and make an emission state inspection again to see if it will pass after installing the borla X pipe.
