Does this seam right for an X-pipe? my TA is half done at the exhaust shop... and this is what the X pipe looks like... not sure what to make of it... from what I understand, an x pipe helps to pick up scavanging... it brings it down to about a 3 1/2.

looks more like a Y pipe that splits into 2. still not too bad, i be more concerned about the crush bends. atleast you have somekind of a merge unlike that guy last week that just ran straight pipes with no merge all the way to the rear.
also why does one cat have a flange and one a band clamp?

The cats are like that because I asked to be able to remove that part of the exhaust when I need to pull the headders or what have you for engine work...
I'll show some pics of x-pipes when I go in this afternoon. I thought it looked off, though i wasn't sure if it would have a neg effect on performance.

That's exactly why I did my duals myself 
. I wonder what that shop's reasoning was for making a merge like that. Obviously not gaining any clearance by doing it that way, and it's not going to help exhaust scavenging like a true x would. 
Wonder how that's gonna sound when finished? What mufflers are you going to run?

mufflers... either none or a pair of resonators... not much room there for full mufflers
*Updated*
I talked with the guy putting this together, he said he only did it that way because I requested to be able to remove the headders and that part of the exhaust, said it was no problem to change it to the standard X.
Opinions?
