Default Headers that will fit Corsa X?

I have a Corsa Xtreme catback with the Corsa X Pipe and am wanting to add a set of long tubes this winter. Anybody know any brands that will bolt up to my X Pipe? I have the back half of it welded because the car is lowered and didn't want it to scrape and fall off... I'd really rather not mess with cutting it off.

Thanks!

The X-pipe is welded to the axle-back exhaust? That should never have happened.

A true bolt-on doesn't exist. At the very least, some cutting will be required, as the front of the X-pipe is connected by a slip-fit and clamps. It should be a pretty easy job for a competent exhaust shop to make it all fit, though. You'll just want to be sure to purchase only longtubes (and cats, if you want them), and not a full exhaust setup that includes all the midpipe hardware.

I wanted the x pipe fixed to the catback. My car is lowered and I had a bad experience with a speedbump a few months back..

I know there are shops that will make it fit, but I'm trying to avoid all the labor costs involved in that. I guess I'm looking for something with minimal modifications, that I can do at home, that will bolt to the corsa X. Thanks for the input
